No, I don't agree that this is a limitation of Make. Make just invokes the shell built-in, and the shell built-in behaves like it does from the command line. I remain unconvinced that we should ``fix'' this just because this fundamental incompatibility between shells sometimes causes trouble in Makefiles that assume Posix `echo' where it isn't guaranteed to exist. _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list Make-w32@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
