Some documentation issues for GNU Make: A Program for Directing
Recompilation, GNU make Version 3.81, April 2006.

1) On page 34, Section 4.8 Special Built-in Target Names, there's
repeated text. The text under ".SUFFIXES" is also the second paragraph
under ".SECONDEXPANSION".

2) On page 87, Section 8.8 The eval Function, there's a problem with the
code example if "make clean" is issued, because the $(ALL_OBJS) variable
in the rm command under clean, won't be initialized (and I'm curious how
you'd do it).

3) On page 106, Section 10.3 Variables Used by Implicit Rules, there's
repeated text. The CO entry is repeated twice, once after CC and another
time after CXX.

4) A general recommendation, when lists are given, such as on page 106,
Section 10.3, and the order of the entries is arbitrary, sort them in
alphabetic sequence.

Thanks so much for making this manual!

Bob
