Subject: make 3.75 ported to DJGPP not handling correctly comments
Precedence: bulk

The comment character is not being handled correctly when it appears in a
rule of a makefile.

consider the following

------Makefile starts --------------

all : foo

.c.o:
	$(CC) -c $(CCOPT) $(INCDIR) $*.c -o $*.o

foo: foo.o
	$(CC) $(LDOPT) -o  $@ $^ # this comment breaks DJGPP make

------Makefile ends --------------

Where foo.c is the proverbial hello world example.

Using make 3.75 in a Linux box does not show this bug, however in DJGPP you get:

cd ~/
make
gcc  -o  foo foo.o # this comment breaks DJGPP
gcc.exe: #: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
gcc.exe: this: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
gcc.exe: comment: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
gcc.exe: breaks: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
gcc.exe: DJGPP: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
make.exe: *** [foo] Error 1
