For the latter, we could use P_tmpdir, which is quite portable. This is not to say that I think the original idea is easy to implement. Actually, it is not entirely clear to me what is meant by "serialization" in this context. Commands are invoked by Make in parallel, and the output is produced in the order of their execution (modulo buffering issues). What would serialization look like in this context? Can someone show a simple example? _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
