Martin,

Thanks.  Does anyone know when is the next release of make 4.0 is planned?  I'd rather not use development code for production purposes.

Thanks,

Tom

Subject: GNU make 4.0 crashes on Solaris 8
 

I have successfully built GNU make 4.0 on a Solaris 8 machine, using GCC 4.7.3 and Sun Studio 11, but when I run "make check", make dumps core

Core was generated by `/Datastore/Public/tjk/make/src/make-4.0/tests/../make -f work/features/se_expli'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Any ideas as to what is going on?  I would like to see if an issue I encountered in 3.82 (related to a file compiling twice when running make in parallel) is fixed in this version.

Thanks,

Tom
