GNU Make and command utility error with 100% cpu load.

[Oleksandr Gavenko <gavenkoa at gmail dot com>]

Consider such simple Makefile:

var := $(shell command -v mv)

all:

When I call:

  $ make clean

I got output like

========================================
      5 [main] make 768! _pinfo::dup_proc_pipe: DuplicateHandle failed, 
pid 768, hProcess 0x6B5, wr_proc_pipe 0x750, Win32 error 6
========================================

and 100% cpu load by ntvdm.exe.

Further info:

  $ uname -a

49-50 cpu% because 2 core cpu??
CSitch delta have different value near written by me.

Stack of ntvdm.exe!lsCdRomFile+0xf8d thread:

ntkrnlpa.exe!KiUnexpectedInterrupt+0x121

Stack differ above ntdll.dll!KiFastSystemCallRet in different
break.

Data from procexp.exe written manually so I can misspell some.


Currently I found workarounds:

var := $(shell command -v mv || :)

or

var := $(shell sh -c command -v mv)
