>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 ?
