I've been merrily bringing up gnu make on our dozen different machines, when it refused to run on our AT&T 3b2. I'm using make 3.57 under sVr3.2 (I think). It core-dumps if I ask it for a version. printf() is called from print_version() with what seem to be OK arguments, but printf dies. That could be a bug in their printf, but I'm curious if anybody else has heard of the same thing. Additionally, it has a hard time finding the Makefile. It just complains about not being able to make the target unless I specify "-f Makefile", in which case it coredumps unless I specify silent operation (printf again). Then it sort-of works, but still doesn't do all it's supposed to. But one bug at a time. Any suggestions? dca@verity.com
