Follow-up Comment #6, bug #31361 (project make): Nothing I've seen so far indicates that this is a bug in make. Make has no visibility into, or even concept of, intermediate files created by your compiler, and it's certainly not going to be deleting them. From what I've seen it's your compiler

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #31361 (project make): Thanks Paul. I thought make might be managing intermediate files but you say no. Ok, that's progress. I'm downloading make-3.82-3-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma now, though I believe it will be fruitless. I'll try something else in the meantime. Seems to

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #31361 (project make): Drilling deeper into this, I see cc1plus.exe is silently giving me errors even though I specified -v. cc1plus.exe: error: argument to -gdwarf- should be a non-negative integer Hmm. Must be referring to -gdwarf-2, which is a perfectly valid

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #31361 (project make): Thanks Martin. Fair enough, I just thought a more appropriate name might help others in my position (even if it's marked not a make bug or whatever). Apparently my searching has led me to the wrong place, so could you point me towards the right

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #31361 (project make): I found the random filename elsewhere in the results file. Looks like cc1plus produces Assembler output in a temp location and then as compiles it into machine code. Ok, so that's how the build system works. Fine. Invoking cc1plus by hand, I find

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #31361 (project make): Pass the -v option to gcc (or g++ or cc1plus) to have it provide more information. But this is no longer a Make issue... ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31361

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #31361 (project make): Thanks Eli. From my make output, make is already passing -v to cc1plus. It doesn't mention anything about not writing the file (or writing it and then deleting it). I see from this: COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS='-v' '-DSmallTestLib_EXPORTS'
