Hi!

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to report this.
The problem is: I've found a problem in gnu make 3.05.
System: sun 3/60 running sunos 3.4
gnu make compiled with gcc 1.31

The problem:
gnu make dumps core when calling make indirectly and the second make
contains a .SUFFIXES line.
The core dump is caused by an IOT trap.

Stack backtrace and registers from adb:
w01$ adb ~/bin/make
$c
core file = core -- program ``make''
SIGIOT 6: abort
_kill(0x6,0x0,0xefff40c) + 6

The offending makefiles:

#	This is a shell archive.
#	Remove everything above and including the cut line.
#	Then run the rest of the file through sh.
-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----
#!/bin/sh
# shar:	Shell Archiver
#	Run the following text with /bin/sh to create:
#	Makefile
#	Makefile.16
