NetBSD implemented this and had the same argument we are having on there lists 4 or 5 months ago. The outcome of that arguments was the code we lifted from them. Now, we did this change 3 months ago, you should have complained then, not now when in the middle of cutting the final release. If GNU make don't have it, it is *NOT* POSIX conformant! -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
