Reappearance of bug #57272 maybe?
(In reply to comment #1) > Reappearance of bug #57272 maybe? > Maybe, I already checked it but finally prefered to open a new one instead of reopening it :-/
The cause of this warning message is makefiles that recurse into other directories without using make's preferred syntax, $(MAKE) -C subdir or cd subdir && $(MAKE) for instance in lynx makefile there was stuff like: cd subdir && $(MAKE_RECUR) make is unhappy about the non-standard syntax because it loses track of info needed for parallel builds, and that's why it spits out the warning messages. In the specific case of perl, make losing track of info needed for parallel builds is a moot point, because perl doesn't build properly in parallel so "-j1" is being forced. So, if I were on perl team, I'd probably close this as "won't fix" until perl upstream gets parallel build working (too bad about the ugly messages, but probably not worth the trouble of patching makefiles)
No warnings in perl-5.12 :)
