I don't think this is Gentoo-specific, but I've noticed that a recent |
| 2 |
update to "make" is causing makefile breakage. For example, trying to |
| 3 |
build a Linux 2.6.28 kernel: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
beta linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r5 # make oldconfig |
| 6 |
Makefile:442: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Apparently the authors of "make" are cracking down on things that have |
| 9 |
been allowed for many years. As a result, some Makefiles don't work |
| 10 |
anymore. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
At least for me, that means that "make" now needs to be slotted so |
| 13 |
that I can keep an older version around that's compatible with older |
| 14 |
Makefiles. Is there any chance of that? |
| 15 |

[I don't suppose anybody knows off-hand which version of "make" |
| 17 |
introduced all the breakage?] |
