No, not "obviously". Please don't leap to conclusions. I said that based on my knowledge of how the _shell_ behaves. GNU make's fast path is supposed to emulate the shell's behavior exactly, so that you never know that the shell is not being invoked. So, whatever behavior the shell gives, is what you should see when you run make regardless of whether the slow path or fast path is being used. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
