I can't reproduce this problem.  Can you reproduce it running it from
the command line?  How is your application running GNU make (do you know
the exact code which invokes it)?

Please provide the necessary information for a bug report: what version
of GNU make you're using, what platform and operating system you're
running it on, and, if possible, a small sample makefile which shows the
problem.

Thanks...
