>Organization:
ilse technology
>Environment:
FreeBSD 2 - 5
>Description:
The manpage states:
-q Do not execute any commands, but exit 0 if the specified targets
are up-to-date and 1, otherwise.
This, however, is only true when Compat is off, i.e., only if -j is used.
If -j is not used, or -B is used, Compat mode is on and it make will
return -1.
>How-To-Repeat:
"make -q" or "make -j1 -q".
>Fix:
Fix the manpage ?
