OK, I submitted 55532. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55532 While you are looking at the .SECONDARY, could you consider 55533 ? https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55533 I fixed abuses of .PRECIOUS in Linux kernel makefiles in the past, I am still wondering why .SECONDARY does not work with % pattern. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
