- pdw 13y agoWhat's annoying about GNU make is that the language has a lot of dark corners and the maintainers are pretty willing to break things. Half of the 3.82 release announcement was discussion of backward-incompatible changes (and that are of course only the incompatibilities known at release time). Now you could say that 99% of projects won't be affected by this, but in a large distribution that is still a lot of breakage.
