Possible minor bug in manual?
I’ve just found what I think may be a very minor bug in the documentation. I’ve read yesterday the GNU coding standards, and found the next line: from GNU Coding standards: at the end of 6.1 (GNU Manuals): Please do not use the term “*illegal*” to refer to erroneous input to a computer program. Please use “*invalid*” for this, and reserve the term “*illegal*” for activities prohibited by law. But then I was reading the GNU Make manual, and found this line: from GNU Make manual: 3.6 (Overriding Part of Another Makefile): However, it is *illegal* for two makefiles to give different recipes for the same target.
