(e.g. seen when building valgrind)


This is perhaps an upstream bug but because RHL ships a historic version of
make, I do not know if it happens with the recent 3.80 version also.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

make-3.79.1-17


How reproducible:
100%
Comment 1 Miloslav Trmac 2003-04-15 12:42:56 UTC 
Workaround when building valgrind:
instead of just
     make
doing
     env - PATH="$PATH" make
caused this failure to go away. I haven't been able to find out which
environment variable was the culprit though.
Comment 2 Enrico Scholz 2003-04-15 13:29:56 UTC 
CPATH is guilty...
