.ONESEHLL not working as expected in 3.82

[Anjum Naseer]

Hi,

I have built the 3.82 version of GNU Make using the Microsoft Visual C++
compiler and it seems to work fine.
However, I cannot get it to work correctly with the .ONESHELL option.
I created a dummy makefile (dummy.mak) with this content:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
.ONESHELL:

.PHONY: dummy

dummy:
        set xyz=abc
        @echo xyz=%xyz%
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If I invoke this with "make -d -r -f dummy.mak" I get:
Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As you can see from the debug trace above, it looks like it is still
loading a separate SHELL for each line of the recipe. Have I
misunderstood the .ONESHELL feature or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Anjum.

PS: I am running this on a 64bit Windows 7 HP Z800 workstation.
