I know this is more of a LFS issue (feel free to forward this to LFS if you wish), but Make 3.82 has a few bugs that affect the compilation of packages outside those required in LFS book.
In particular, the Dev86src package (needed to build lilo) cannot be built using make 3.82. There is a CLFS patch for Dev86src to get it to work under make 3.82: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01541.html But this is a workaround for an actual bug in make 3.82. Anyway, for those interested, I found a patch that fixes this make bug as well as two other ones. The attached patch (collected by Michal Soltys <soltys at ziu.info>) fixes several make 3.82 bugs (30612,30723,31743) the first of which prevents the successful building of the Dev86src package (http://www.debath.co.uk/dev86/) which is required to build the lilo package (http://lilo.alioth.debian.org/). These fixes have all been accepted upstream. * http://lists.crux.nu/pipermail/crux/2011-March/009482.html * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01541.html * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4282254/dev86-compile-error * https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30612 * https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30723 * https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31743 (inaccessible, bug number reused) * http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2010-07/msg00200.html * http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2010-08/msg00059.html * http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2010-12/msg00000.html After applying this patch and building make 3.82, all of its 428 check tests (still) pass and I can now build Dev86src-0.16.18. I for one am hoping that upstream does not wait as long to release make 3.83 as they did make 3.82. Cheers, Mike Shell
