The first observation is, that there is a successful build of the same version using the same version of make. https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=bsdiff&arch=i386&ver=4.3-14&stamp=1337838907 So what is different here? One difference is the debhelper version in use. Working 9.20120523 vs broken 9.20130630. A quick check to rebuild with the old debhelper shows, that this is indeed the case. Versions up to 9.20130604 (inclusive) do not exhibit the broken behaviour. The most likely cause appears to be the fix of #713257. Note that in all of these cases, the Makefiles are bsd-ish Makefiles, that use some form of .if (note the leading dot). These Makefiles do not normally work with GNU make, but did work earlier, because they were only partly evaluated. It is not yet entirely clear to me what the best solution to bsd-ish Makefiles is. A different solution is to ask GNU make to support bsd-ish conditionals and includes. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
