I don't think this is Gentoo-specific, but I've noticed that a recent
update to "make" is causing makefile breakage. For example, trying to
build a Linux 2.6.28 kernel:
beta linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r5 # make oldconfig
Makefile:442: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop.
Apparently the authors of "make" are cracking down on things that have
been allowed for many years. As a result, some Makefiles don't work
anymore.
At least for me, that means that "make" now needs to be slotted so
that I can keep an older version around that's compatible with older
Makefiles. Is there any chance of that?
[I don't suppose anybody knows off-hand which version of "make"
introduced all the breakage?]
