huh. i did think about that, and though i didn't test (obviously), the docs explicitly said that the only modifiers supported were # with %m (which i couldn't find anyone using, and to which there's the easy workaround of saying `0%m` instead) and i took their word for it. yeah, searching as much code as i can, i see two uses. neither is in Android, though, so i'd have gotten away with it :-) there's an open source one for you here: https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/blob/master/meta/classes/buildhistory.bbclass#L524 > (Some day, some glorious day, > https://slashdot.org/story/06/09/04/1335226/debian-kicks-jrg-schilling will no > longer be on the posix commitee and then maybe it'll start to matter to > non-solaris users again.
