Automake 1.13.1 also miscompiles the following: TESTS = run-bindtests \ $(sort \ $(patsubst %,%.bc,$(test_progs)) \ $(patsubst %,%.opt,$(test_progs))) which worked in previous versions. It turns it into the following which breaks make because of the unclosed '$(sort' variables: run-bindtests.log: run-bindtests @p='run-bindtests'; \ b='run-bindtests'; \ $(am__check_pre) $(LOG_DRIVER) --test-name "$$f" \ --log-file $$b.log --trs-file $$b.trs \ $(am__common_driver_flags) $(AM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) $(LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) -\ - $(LOG_COMPILE) \ "$$tst" $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) $(sort.log: $(sort @p='$(sort'; \ b='$(sort'; \ $(am__check_pre) $(LOG_DRIVER) --test-name "$$f" \ --log-file $$b.log --trs-file $$b.trs \ $(am__common_driver_flags) $(AM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) $(LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) -\ - $(LOG_COMPILE) \ "$$tst" $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) $(patsubst.log: $(patsubst @p='$(patsubst'; \ b='$(patsubst'; \ $(am__check_pre) $(LOG_DRIVER) --test-name "$$f" \ --log-file $$b.log --trs-file $$b.trs \ $(am__common_driver_flags) $(AM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) $(LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS) -\ - $(LOG_COMPILE) \ "$$tst" $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) [etc] If I file a bug about this, is it likely to get attention? It's just as easy for me to change my code so it works. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
