Hi Paul, Yesterday I found another use of make's -t flag: It helps make sure that the logic in the Makefile is correct. You could run the target without -t, but then you risk seeing warnings and errors from the commands run by the target before make's own ones, which would hide Makefile problems. If you run `make -kstj [target(s)]` after modifying a Makefile, it will show only and all^Wmost problems in the Makefile itself. It could be especially useful with 4.4's --shuffle, although I don't have it yet in Debian Sid :(. I should build from source and try it. I'll start using that as a rule to check changes to Makefiles, and hopefully will avoid introducing bugs that I need to fix in the next commit :) <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/?id=5bf82f50cf02ded2403666d6c1ee2878b8bd602e> Cheers, Alex -- <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/> GPG key fingerprint: A9348594CE31283A826FBDD8D57633D441E25BB5
