I tested with GNU make 3.78.1 just to make sure - it seems to work fine too, which is great. I also tested with pmake, out of curiousity, and it failed - but quilt 0.42 is failing too (pmake doesn't support "ifeq" and its variants and we use these a lot now), so I don't think this is a problem. Supporting GNU make >= 3.78.1 should be sufficient. So I'm going to commit this patch, as it was successfully tested by several of you (Thanks!) Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to schedule a maintenance release soon? Breaking build with GNU make < 3.80 was no good, and there are quite a few other fixes of varying importance in CVS already.
