Re: [bug #65908] Make fails with 'Makefile:3857: *** missing 'endif'. Stop.

[Martin Dorey]

Um, Henrik... 4.4.90 is the latest in git:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/tree/configure.ac#n31

… and the OP here, who is probably on-list despite the invalid.noreply business, is, or at least shares a rather particular name with, the de facto OS/2 maintainer, innit, as credited in the 4.4.1 release announcement:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2023-02/msg00011.html

... which superseded the 4.4 one:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2022-10/msg00008.html

... which heralded the deprecation of OS/2 support.

I'm off to look at the spaces on the if/endif directives, as with the Linux kernel makefiles, will reply further in Savannah...

Whoops, I now see that version 4.4.1 is the latest official release. I am not
awer of any 4.4.90 version, there was a 4.4.0.90 version which is older than
4.4.1. Commit e3f938 is the latest commit, but no official release. That
commit was made to the official GNU Make repo which has dropped OS/2 support.
