Bug in GNU Make version 3.13
#1449

Dear Sir,

I found a bug in  "GNU Make version 3.13":
	If the user does not specify a makefile with the
	option '-f' and goal targets then GNU Make does
	not find a default goal target and stops with the
	error message "no goal target".
This behavior results from a bug in "read.c".  There the
function "read_makefile" has a variable number of arguments
(see also the fix).

Yours sincerely
	Ernst Boetsch
