Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

building glibc with make-3.82 fails with:
Makefile:240: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.

this is expected behavior with make-3.82 and has been reported in upstream glibc

Fix building with make >= 3.82

This fixes the issue, it's the one frugelware linux is shipping with

that frugelware change isnt entirely correct.  but upstream committed a change now, so i wont have to fix it myself :p.

queued up in 2.11.2 and 2.12.1 patchsets

This is no bug, but removed unsupported undocumented hole in make.
Patch (mine - looks work, not mind) for busybox 1.7.4 attached.

About bug: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.make.bugs/4912
Paul Smith:
"The previous behavior of mixing implicit and pattern rules in one line
like that was never supported or documented, but due to a "hole" in the
parser it worked for certain specific cases (for example, reversing that
line so the pattern comes first would not work, nor would adding extra
explicit targets after the pattern target)."

Open new bug then, this one is closed and for glibc.

Sorry. Sometimes I am annoying, I know. But other time I like mute. There are mixed browser tabs for bugzilla (under beer). Don't worry.
