The info docs that are part of the installed binary package would
surely match the installed binary.
Either
info make
or
info 'gnu make'
has worked on every system I've seen.
Philip GuentherFollow-up Comment #4, bug #36881 (project make):
Fair enough. I stand corrected.
I was more concerned over the inability to access the information online as
the vast majority of people who use make get it through binary package
managers. The NEWS file is not something that is conveniently available, and
all my systems, even ones that I recently provisioned, are running 3.81.
Thank you for the link. I will bring myself up to date.

Summary: Sample code for $(eval) is incorrect and fails.

Details:
The sample code reads:
define PROGRAM_template =
$(1): $$($(1)_OBJS) $$($(1)_LIBS:%=-l%)
ALL_OBJS += $$($(1)_OBJS)
endef
$(foreach prog,$(PROGRAMS),$(eval $(call PROGRAM_template,$(prog))))
However, the '=' following PROGRAM_template causes the definition to have no
effect.
In short, any one using this code as an example to create templates will find
that no parameterized rules are actually generated.
