We are still waiting for input from implementations on this item before
proceeding.
Bug #1422: The current definition for the += assignment is in conflict with
existing behavior of make and unpredictable/error-prone Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1422
This item is tagged for Issue 8
On page 2903 line 97634,97638,97638 section make (APPLICATION USAGE)
change "IMMED" to "Immed".
On page 2903 line 97641 section make (APPLICATION USAGE), add a new
paragraph:
Because the behavior of the <tt>+=</tt> assignment differs
depending on whether the macro being appended to is a
delayed-expansion macro or an immediate-expansion macro, it is
recommended that when both macro types are used in a set of
multiple makefiles and include files, a naming convention is
adopted to distinguish the two macro types. This avoids any
confusion about whether <tt>+=</tt> will append the expanded
or unexpanded value. A suitable convention might be to name
delayed-expansion macros using uppercase and underscore characters
and immediate-expansion macros using a name that contains at
least one lowercase character.
Bug #1423: The make commandline argument macro::=value has unspecified bahavior
Withdrawn
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1423
Bug #1424: Inconsistent spelling of single suffix vs. single-suffix Accepted as
Marked

The 2nd and 5th bullet points in the description are the cases that
need a hyphen added. The 4th ("one of the single suffixes appended")
does not need a hyphen, as "single suffixes" is not being used as
an adjective there.
