Re: make doesn't handle += correctly for exported per-target variables

[Manoj Srivastava]

Hi,

        Unfortunately, the patch applied does not change the observed
 behaviour. Indeed, we had applied this patch already (you provided it
 as a fix to an earlier report we had). I apologize for not mentioning
 this earlier; Debian's make is 3.79.1+patches you have mentioned in
 various reports; and thus we are not running a vanilla make. This
 does make it harder to debug the behaviour the reporter experiences,
 and I apologize for making the process harder.

        I guess we can wait a week or two and try out the new version.
 I am attaching gzipped diffs from vanilla make, in case these are
 helpful. 

        Thanks for your consideration, and apologies again for not
 mentioning this is not a vanilla make.
