So do I continue on, and assume a new requirement to upgrade to GNU make
3.81 because of these changes (on all platforms), or do I go back to the
drawing board and try and make the changes work with 3.80, or even
3.78.1 ???
If we can find a Windows/Cygwin GNU make v3.81 or better that works, I'd
vote for updating the requirement to 3.81 for all.
I am currently using Cygwin GNU make v3.80 on Windows due to the
later Cygwin builds not supporting MS-DOS drive letters or paths:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#gmake
From that same page, I've been using 3.81 from:
http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe
(labeled as: "you can download this www.cmake.org make.exe which will
not have a libintl2.dll dependency.")
for my cygwin installation. It supports the MS-DOS drive letters.
