RE: make 3.82 performing more stat() calls than 3.81

[Troy Runkel]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the quick response.  Is there a patch I could look at for this 
change?  We might be interested in back-porting the fix into 3.82 for now.  
Thanks.

Hi Troy.  I've verified that this issue exists in 3.82 but it's already been 
fixed in CVS and the fix will be available in the next release of GNU make.

Thanks!
