3.81.90: bug or feature ?

[Denis Onischenko]

Hello,

I have the error with the version 3.81.90 from CVS:


...
make[2]: Entering directory `/Sources/linux/.powerpc/module-init-tools'
Makefile:16: *** recipe commences before first target.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/Sources/linux/.powerpc/module-init-tools'
make[1]: *** [cross-build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/Sources/linux/packages/module-init-tools'
make: *** [build] Error 1



The Makefile is:

5:  pkgdatadir = $(datadir)/module-init-tools
6:  pkgincludedir = $(includedir)/module-init-tools

/Sources/linux/.powerpc/module-init-tools/config.guess ` \
18:         ; BUILD=` grep "^#### $$HOST " Makefile | sed -e 's/.*|//' ` \
19:         ; use=` basename "$@" -all `; n=` echo $$BUILD | wc -w ` \
20:         ; echo "MAKE $$HOST : $$n * $@"; if test "$$n" = "0" ; then : \
21:         ; BUILD=` grep "^####.*|" Makefile |tail -1| sed -e
's/.*|//' ` ; fi \
22:         ; test ".$$BUILD" = "." && BUILD="." \
23:         ; test "$$use" = "$@" && BUILD=` echo "$$BUILD" | tail -1 ` \
24:         ; for i in $$BUILD ; do test ".$$i" = "." && continue \
25:         ; (cd "$$i" && test ! -f configure && $(MAKE) $$use) || exit; done
...


I have not this error with released version 3.81

Is this a bug or feature of version 3.81.90 ?

What means the ":" after "NORMAL_INSTALL = " ?

Thanks.
