Hi,
Last night I found a very cruel bug in GNU make that led to a costly
experience for me. Hence, I decided to report it and to help others not to
repeat my experiment.
In a Makefile, and in assignment operations, the space character after the
value is included to the value by `make'.
Please keep my email-address confidential, as I don't want to get spam.
The command (1)
make elf
gives the result make: *** No rule to make target `elf'. Stop.
when no makefile exists.
The command (2)
make -f mmm aaa
gives the result
make: mmm: No such file or directory
make: *** No

This problem is so cruel because you can not see the space character after
the `value' and
A workaround we're using is letting vim to highlight line-trailing spaces.
It should be trivial for other mature text editor as well ;)
Hope this helps,
