Description Suzuki Takashi 2005-08-10 07:57:04 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #55490 +++

This is the only line in a makefile:

a: CFLAGS += -DMAIN

There is a file a.c, which is irrelevant. I used a simple helloworld 
program.

Run make as:

binand@binand[~/testprogs]:(25) make CFLAGS+=-DMAIN a

This is the output:

cc -DMAIN -DMAIN    a.c   -o a
make: expand.c:489: allocated_variable_append: Assertion 
`current_variable_set_list->next != 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Comment 1 Suzuki Takashi 2005-08-10 07:59:08 UTC 
I wanted to try valgrind,
but couldn't rebuild valgrind-2.2.0-5.EL4.src.rpm or valgrind-2.4.0-3.src.rpm
on a RHEL3WS system.
Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2005-09-27 21:32:21 UTC 
It is fixed in RHEL4.  I don't think it is severe enough to justify a RHEL3
errata at this point.
