A buggy Makefile was just an example of bug which does not always happen.
Just because a bug does not always happen does not mean it is not a bug.
But you closed this one as if the error that was reported could only
happen in a parallel universe, not in this one. Is there any particular
reason why GCC may not have a bug which does not always happen?
Thanks.
