I fear people already think I am clueless complaining about make 3.82 as it is :-) I was unaware if the linux-2.6-allstable tree and so I am replying to the list because I agree that your feedback may well be helpful to others. Thanks for your time and effort. I am looking more deeply into this issue, but it is really starting to look like make 2.82 has a bug, as I am seeing many errors as I feared. It could also be some other issue of course, but I don't think so at this point. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMe//tAAoJECSpOhdQESq62msIAIibNg7ude+Pf8X8pkwuKzO0 2a9FrLPolzZjboKeBJg5U097ikZ1ywJE/TB5ZMt13KuiyKL/BPngdvKAnyfzOu5G uzQNXO8/v13rgzkzj1A5YtoNiPeyzVw57e65EOZrxOM75Fd0K1IxacyLpfiI+eAK ES0xZwn+YsCIJsoFEMTnFW8So0RsEkp+HESOdrxXUybC7zrPpVOEoBhD+0SMauxE Qkl4Nrgk4mx9mfAjwMmdSyMoW+3TOlUiopYCG02Q9OsnJteDD8bepJxbSXu9cQMm 2p/Ny2PV9WCZrFguvd4KbaY7+eP55w/J9dvA4D2mjfxSLAA/CrgK/FdHoBTHW9k= =f6S2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
