At this point, having lived with the limitations for so many decades, I would not like Debian to diverge from the common behaviour of make (if only for the reasons we'll have to carry this patch and back it off when it is sorted out upstream). I would like to see how upstream deals with the issue first. manoj -- Remember, even if you win the rat race -- you're still a rat.
