yields:
:
Extracting dependency lists from 814 units...
Sanity checks...
"End.U": stale ?MAKE: dependency '$W'.
Looking for dependency cycles...
Cycle found for:
(#1) Oldsym
(#1) runmakedepend
(#1) Config_h
(#1) Magic_h
Cycle involves:
(?) End: runmakedepend
(?) Config_h: End Config_sh
(?) Config_sh: End
(?) Oldsym: Config_sh
(Finish) runmakedepend: Oldsym Magic_h
(?) Magic_h: Config_h
Done.
And worse if I remove the ?INIT:
Extracting dependency lists from 814 units...
"/pro/3gl/CPAN/perl-current/U/all/Finish.U": variable '$runmakedepend' should have
been set.
Sanity checks...
"End.U": stale ?MAKE: dependency '$W'.
