Re: Make 3.80 on Tru64 UNIX 4.0D

Hi,

I just stumbled over the same error as the original poster. I compiled make 
3.80 with the patch for Bug #1517 applied.

The self tests fail on Tru64 4.0 with both gcc-3.3.1 and the cc compiler that 
comes with the system, therefore I guess it's not compiler related.

The self tests pass on Tru64 5.1 with both compilers which makes me believe 
it's probably due to a bug in the libc that comes with Tru64 4.0. But that's 
just guessing...

I tried to execute the unit test by hand like this "./make -f 
./tests/work/functions/eval.mk" and now things are getting really wierd.

The first execution of the unit test printed the expected result:

---%<---
AA
BA
--->%---

The second and all subsequent invocations of the test print the wrong result:

---%<---
A
BA
--->%---

If I just wait long enough before invoking the test again the test will print 
the right result. I have no idea what the cause for this behaviour might be but 
perhaps it rings a bell with someone.

Regards,
Markus
