I am running Gnu make version 3.77 on a SPARC 5 under Solaris 7 (i.e.
sunos 2.7).

Gnumake version 3.77 no longer support wild cards.  

Gnu make version 3.74 works great with wildcards.

Please use the following Makefile to demonstrate this bug. 

Use Gnu make version 3.74 on the Makefile. Next run Gnu make versiion
3.77 on the 
Makefile.

Now compare the results and note that Gnu make version 3.77 is missing
wildcard
support.


 <<Makefile>> 



I would like to thank Janet Anderson at the APS for
helping me detect this bug in Gnu make version 3.77


Thanks,

This is a known bug in GNU make 3.77 on Solaris 2.6 and above.
It will be fixed in the next version.  Workaround as follows:

> After building a (broken) make on Solaris 2.6, do the following:
>
>   $ rm -f glob/*.o
>   $ make CFLAGS='-g -O2 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64'
>
> You can adjust the -g and -O2 options to taste.  The resulting make
> executable will work correctly.
