The make that comes with cygwin is gnumake 3.75, I need features introduced in 3.76 (target-specific variable values, a sane VPATH/vpath algorithm) 2. The configure bug affects ANY package, not just gnumake, and is in fact, a symptom of a much worse bug in cygwin b20 where variable values are just "lost" after about 17-20 interations of a loop in sh. I could say something about "useful contributions" to the list but I won't. -Peter Peter A.
