At least that is what our Makefile intends to do. So that means you may have found a bug in our Makefile, or your make (by the way I think we pretty much requires GNU make to build git), or perhaps both. But I do not see an obvious breakage in our Makefile in this area... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
