I have a makefile that works using Sun make, but fails with GNU make. I
think this may be a GNU bug.

Here is the makefile in question:

----------
SHELL=/bin/csh

all:
	-@echo 'header' ; 
	-@echo -n 'enter text: ' ; \
	set a=$$< ; echo $$a  ;
----------

The problem is that the user never gets a chance to enter a value for the
shell variable 'a'...the makefile just cruises right through without stopping.
I can workaround this by using the following:

----------
SHELL=/bin/csh

all:
	-@echo 'header' ;  \
	echo -n 'enter text: ' ; \
	set a=$$< ; echo $$a  ;
----------

I'd like to hear if you think this is a bug. Thanks.
