[bug #62840] make --version in pipe return SIGPIPE

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #62840 (project make):

Thanks for that patch.  After looking at it I added some more cleanup.

I saw one weird thing: we allow the --version option to be accepted from the
environment:


$ MAKEFLAGS=--version make
GNU Make 4.3
  ...


and doesn't try to build any targets.  I don't think this is a good idea. 
Anyone have a good reason to keep this behavior?
