[bug #40361] make 4.0 under hpux 11.31 no longer prints output correctly

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #40361 (project make):

Given that there are no env.var. settings that are odd, I'd agree with you. 
You show results for 3.81; have you tried 3.82?

I find it very strange, the output you do get.  I have no idea where something
like that would come from, at all.  In fact your makefile commands are simple
enough that make won't even invoke the shell: it will simply fork/exec those
programs directly.  If you remove the "rm file.c" from the rule, is "file.c"
created?  That is, is make actually invoking the commands just not printing
the output?  If you add a command like "echo hi", do you see the output
printed ("hi")?

One thing you might try is to go to output.c and find the function
output_init(), and comment out the two invocations of "set_append_mode()", one
for stdout and one for stderr.  Maybe there's something broken about the way
HPUX sets append mode on open file descriptors.
