This is on a SysVr3 386 box, with my previously posted patches. When GNU make gets a file via RCS and there is an error compiling the file, make deletes the source file it retrieved. This doesn't seem useful. Here's an example. The file tmp.c does not exist, but RCS/tmp.c,v does. The resultant tmp.c has a deliberate syntax error, which causes make to delete tmp.c. /usr4/src/make-3.26> ./make tmp co -q RCS/tmp.c,v tmp.c gcc -g -O -c tmp.c -o tmp.o tmp.c: In function main: tmp.c:7: undeclared variable `quack' (first use here) make: *** Error 1 rm -f tmp.c rm -f tmp.o (ERR:1) /usr4/src/make-3.26> -- James R.
