I'm using GNU Make 3.54 and I've had a number of problems, most of
which I've already fixed. However, the following problem seems to
be pretty deep.
Use of the $(foreach,,) function causes make to either crash
or hang. When I do this on one of our DEC3100s, the process crashes
due to a protection failure, our Harris HCX7 hangs, and my NeXT machine
hangs up so that I can't even kill the process using csh job control
(I can kill it explicitly via its PID).
For the sake of completeness, here's a rule that will demonstrate the
problem:
test :
echo $(foreach x,a b c,-$(x)-)
