I have fixed a bug in the DJGPP port of GNU Make 3.76.1. Corrected
distributions should be available from the usual DJGPP sites:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/mak3761b.zip
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/mak3761s.zip
The bug is subtle. It only appears when Bash is used to run the
commands (e.g., if the Makefile says "SHELL = /bin/sh"), and only if
some rule has an empty command line (like "@:") as the last or the
only command for that rule. So if you don't run complex Makefiles
which originate from Unix, you might as well skip this upgrade.
