Where's that "w" after "Inside aa" came from? Why is it in $
(MAKEFLAGS)?
If I just do:
cd /tmp/aa
gmake
Then everything is fine, there's no "w" at the end
I think -C enables -w which prints the "gmake: Entering directory `/
tmp/aa'" messages.
‘-w’ ‘--print-directory’
Print a message containing the working directory both before and after
execut- ing the makefile. This may be useful for tracking down errors
from complicated nests of recursive make commands. See Section 5.7
[Recursive Use of make], page 50. (In practice, you rarely need to
specify this option since ‘make’ does it for you; see Section 5.7.4
[The ‘--print-directory’ Option], page 54.)
