I don't think this is make version dependent. I can't reproduce the issue today with make 4.1. But I would have been using the same version in August when I wrote that. What more can I say? Clearly the hyphenated variable gets passed to the sub-make in most cases. But it's not totally reliable because last year it wasn't working for us. > In the last post in the thread, you concluded: > "We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of > linux, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive." I didn't write that, it's a standard message generated for bugs marked as closed in a package changelog. :-) > If so, why is this patch here? > How is the dtbs_install procedure different in the Debian package?
