> Ilya, how are you tickling this problem? Are you doing something
different or perhaps its an OS/2 specific issue. $self->{MAKEFILE}
should be set to FIRST_MAKEFILE by init_others() and MM_OS2 doesn't
override that.
It was several years ago when I first needed this chunk; right now I
do not remember which exact scenario triggered the problem. I can't
break anything now even when this patch is NOT applied. Consider this
particular chunk withdrawn for the time being.
I remove this chunk on my machine, and will try to be extra observant
to detect what breaks with module-build-on-large-scale.
Yours,
Ilya
