If make is called with five or more arguments, it dumps core. Switches don't count towards the total of five. The following is in a directory that doesn't have a makefile or any named file. /tmp> make abc def ghi jkl make: *** No way to make file `abc'. Stop. /tmp> make abc def ghi jkl mno Memory fault - core dumped /tmp> make -n abc def ghi jkl make: *** No way to make file `abc'. Stop. /tmp> make -n abc def ghi jkl mno Memory fault - core dumped /tmp> make CC=gcc abc def ghi make: *** No way to make file `abc'. Stop. /tmp> make CC=gcc abc def ghi jkl Memory fault - core dumped /tmp> -- James R.
