Details

An updated make package that fixes a bug is now available.

GNU make is a tool for controlling the generation of executables and other
non-source files of a program from the program's source files. Make allows
users to build and install packages without any significant knowledge about
the details of the build process.

This updated make package fixes a bug in which make wouldn't remember which
dependencies of a pattern rule were order-only, and would then wrongly
infer the value of special variables such as "$^" (without quotes).

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated make package, which resolves
this issue.
