A quick update:
This bug does not occur with NetBSD make. I spent a couple of hours
diffing the sources (there are a lot more differences than I expected)
to see if there was any one small patch that would make things work for
FreeBSD, but I wasn't successful. There are many patches in NetBSD make
that deal specifically with '$', but apparently just adding these is
not sufficient. I would need to get below this superficial view to see
what's going on.
There is a person with login name "will" who made a CVS log entry that
says:
Assume MAINTAINER. I will be taking the job of merging
NetBSD/OpenBSD improvements (including :C & :L, among others).
After that, I'll be coming up with other ways to improve
make(1).
If he is still the make maintainer for FreeBSD, can someone give me a
full email address for him?
Thanks,
Jason
