We prefer cut/paste with formatting (or using plain text messages rather than HTML messages) rather than attached screenshots. In any event, I can't reproduce the behavior you see, either with the latest release or with GNU Make 4.3. Maybe it's something strange about your terminal? Have you tried with a simple xterm instead of whatever terminal you're using? ~$ ~/src/make/old/make-4.3/make --version GNU Make 4.3 Built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Copyright (C) 1988-2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Options: -b, -m Ignored for compatibility. -B, --always-make Unconditionally make all targets. -C DIRECTORY, --directory=DIRECTORY Change to DIRECTORY before doing anything. -d Print lots of debugging information. --debug[=FLAGS] Print various types of debugging information. -e, --environment-overrides Environment variables override makefiles. -E STRING, --eval=STRING Evaluate STRING as a makefile statement. -f FILE, --file=FILE, --makefile=FILE Read FILE as a makefile. -h, --help Print this message and exit. -i, --ignore-errors Ignore errors from recipes. -I DIRECTORY, --include-dir=DIRECTORY Search DIRECTORY for included makefiles. -j [N], --jobs[=N] Allow N jobs at once; infinite jobs with no arg. -k, --keep-going Keep going when some targets can't be made. -l [N], --load-average[=N], --max-load[=N] Don't start multiple jobs unless load is below N. -L, --check-symlink-times Use the latest mtime between symlinks and target. -n, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon Don't actually run any recipe; just print them. -o FILE, --old-file=FILE, --assume-old=FILE Consider FILE to be very old and don't remake it. -O[TYPE], --output-sync[=TYPE] Synchronize output of parallel jobs by TYPE. -p, --print-data-base Print make's internal database. -q, --question Run no recipe; exit status says if up to date. -r, --no-builtin-rules Disable the built-in implicit rules. -R, --no-builtin-variables Disable the built-in variable settings. -s, --silent, --quiet Don't echo recipes. --no-silent Echo recipes (disable --silent mode). -S, --no-keep-going, --stop Turns off -k. -t, --touch Touch targets instead of remaking them. --trace Print tracing information. -v, --version Print the version number of make and exit. -w, --print-directory Print the current directory. --no-print-directory Turn off -w, even if it was turned on implicitly. -W FILE, --what-if=FILE, --new-file=FILE, --assume-new=FILE Consider FILE to be infinitely new. --warn-undefined-variables Warn when an undefined variable is referenced.
