I just tried building /usr/src supped on Saturday and the build failed
doing a "make depend" in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/ld/ldconfig, because make
choked on the line
CFLAGS += -DSTANDARD_SEARCH_DIRS="\"/usr/lib\", \"/usr/X386/lib\""
This was building on a system that had been last built around the begining
of June. I compiled and installed the version of make in the latest sources
and it worked fine.
This is presumably not a problem if you have kept relatively current (I'm not
sure how old your make has to be for you to trip over this problem) but I
thought I'd post this incase anyone else found it happening to them...
