The following reply was made to PR standards/57295; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Dan Nelson <dnelson@allantgroup.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, jflemer@alum.rpi.edu Cc: Subject: Re: standards/57295: [patch] make does not include cmd line variables in MAKEFLAGS Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 14:03:59 -0500 Doesn't POSIX allow our current behaviour? MAKEFLAGS The characters are formatted in a manner similar to a portion of the make utility command line: options are preceded by hyphens and <blank>-separated as described in the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines. The macro=value macro definition operands can also be included. The difference between the contents of MAKEFLAGS and the make utility command line is that the contents of the variable shall not be subjected to the word expansions (see Word Expansions) associated with parsing the command line values. It says that macro=value can be included, but doesn't have to be.
