Follow-up Comment #1, bug #60557 (project make): I thought I'd found where PREPROCESS.S was added, in 2014, under:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c0380823a27f14cdc8274ad03c0dcab216d1380b ... but I must be getting confused by the limited diff context because it's there all the way back to 1992's initial revision: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=b8593206069f19229dfb8f41233ea61d891ad6e4 The definition of CPP as $(CC) -E also goes back to 1992. The claim in the documentation that we use $(CPP) goes back to 1991. The documentation's approach seems reasonable. Perhaps the PREPROCESS.S definition got confused by the since-retired Xenix condition. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60557> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
