For example, trying to build a Linux 2.6.28 kernel: beta linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r5 # make oldconfig Makefile:442: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. Apparently the authors of "make" are cracking down on things that have been allowed for many years. As a result, some Makefiles don't work anymore. At least for me, that means that "make" now needs to be slotted so that I can keep an older version around that's compatible with older Makefiles. Is there any chance of that? [I don't suppose anybody knows off-hand which version of "make" introduced all the breakage?] -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! My vaseline is at RUNNING... gmail.com
