I don't know who will/should answer such a question. I still have no
luck nor fun with these tests:

$ @TEST_MAKE

                      Running tests for GNU make on VMS
                               GNU Make 4.0.90

OK, I can run one when I specify one, but it fails due to bash's ":":

$ make -f [.tests.work.variables]undefine.mk
recursive simple recursive
undefined recursive undefined
$ @TEST_MAKE -keep "variables/undefine"

3 Tests in 1 Category Failed (See .diff* files in work dir for details) :-(

$

$ ed [.tests.work.variables]undefine.mk

So it seems the tests still contain Unix/shell commands and not only VMS
commands.

$ make -f [.tests.work.variables]undefine.mk
recursive simple recursive
undefined recursive undefined
$

Or am I missing something?
