Comments?
The changes to the config.texi and ldver.texi rules in
binutils/doc/Makefile.am and ld/Makefile.am introduce the use of $< in
explicit rules. This is not portable make usage; e.g., POSIX only
defines $< in inference rules (what GNU Make calls suffix rules) or the
.DEFAULT rule. The last time I pointed something similar out :-), Ben
Elliston confirmed that binutils was not requiring GNU Make [1], and I
assume, based on binutils/NEWS, that this is still the case.
If so, it's easily fixed.
