Package: make
Version: 3.81-8.2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm actually an ubuntu user and asked this question first at:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/make/+question/216942
where it got no attention. Then I have tried it on debian 7.0 and fedora 18
on virtual machines and it seems like a debian family issue so I decided to
post it here. First time using the system so please forgive my mistakes.
Below I copied the content of the question just in case:

Hello,
I have two question but they might be related somehow.
1. Is it a bug that make process is not limiting stack size?
1a. steps to produce
have a makefile:
all:
ulimit -s #
and run it from the shell using:
$ make
1b. what I observe
when I run `make` I get:
ulimit -s #
unlimited
1c. what I expect
I should get `8192` instead of `unlimited` as it is the value I get when I run
`ulimit -s` from a regular shell.
2. Is it a bug that I have to include a trailing `#` in the end to make the
command work?
2a. steps to produce
have a makefile:
all:
ulimit -s
and run it from the shell using:
$ make
2b. what I observe
when I run `make` I get:
ulimit -s
make: ulimit: Command not found
make: *** [all] Error 127
2c. what I expect
I should get:
ulimit -s
unlimited
as it is what I get with the trailing `#` which is just a comment character
