Follow-up Comment #3, bug #16505 (project make):
If you drop the backslashes from the single-quoted string, you get an
"unexpected EOF" error. Isn't this a case where the POSIX behavior is
counterproductive, and would better be made contingent on a POSIXLY_CORRECT
variable?
My testing shows that the vendor-supplied make on AIX, HP-UX, Tru64 and
FreeBSD has the non-POSIX behavior; Solaris is the only standout. In light of
the breakage that this change will cause, I don't think many users will be
amenable to the view that the behavior isn't a bug.
