[bug #42695] Error compiling make from last git in Windows

[Fabio]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #42695 (project make):


It's not THAT important, but I like to do a filever -v xxx.exe
and see the version, if it's a debug build, and more. Or see the same
informations in the Version tab of the file properties, or
see the product name in Process Explorer. 
The .rc file is 52 lines altogher and may live in the w32 directory. It uses
config.h to get the version.

The Nmakefile patch is only useful if the resource file is used.

I use another small patch for Microsoft compiler:
changing some lines, i.e.
    "$(LINK.o) $^ $(LOADLIBES) $(LDLIBS) -o $@",
to
    "$(LINK.o) $^ $(LOADLIBES) $(LDLIBS) $(OUTPUT_OPTION)",
in default.c. Then putting in the Makefiles
OUTPUT_OPTION=
silences the "-o option is obsolete" that cl spits out, 
and allows me to use the -link options.
Could it be of general interest ? It does not change the default
rules because OUTPUT_OPTION is already "-o $@"

Regards.

Fabio
