Step 4 is about what happens _after_ processing all the prerequisites, recursively. Whether step 4 uses the pathname found by the directory search is described in 4a and 4b. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
