Date: Sat, 4 Apr 1998 08:16:19 +0200 (MET DST) From: "Philippe De Muyter" <phdm@macqel.be> On m68k-motorola-sysv, gdb-4.18.97 fails for gnumake distclean with do-distclean : arg list too long Here is a patch. Sat Apr 4 07:45:45 1998 Philippe De Muyter <phdm@macqel.be> * Makefile.in (EXTRA_GCC_FLAGS): Useless XFOO=bar definitions removed. Unfortunately, this patch fails when using GNU make. This patch will result in passing an empty string to make, and GNU make will report make: *** empty string invalid as file name. Stop. We need to be able to quote the the LANGUAGES line, or it won't work if there are spaces. Because of how shell quoting works, we need to quote the entire backquoted expression. That in turns implies that we need to have something in the string, or make won't like it. Of course this line doesn't matter for a gdb release, but it does matter for an egcs release. I don't see a simple solution at this point. We could save a few characters here and there by using [ -n ] and changing XFOO=bar to x=y. Would that be enough to make a difference on your host? Ian
