* The variable invoked by $(call ...) can now be recursive: unlike other
variables it can reference itself and this will not produce an error
when it is used as the first argument to $(call ...) (but only then).

System-specific Notes
---------------------
It has been reported that the XLC 1.2 compiler on AIX 3.2 is buggy such
that if you compile make with `cc -O' on AIX 3.2, it will not work correctly.
It is said that using `cc' without `-O' does work.
One area that is often a problem in configuration and porting is the code
to check the system's current load average. To make it easier to test and
debug this code, you can do `make check-loadavg' to see if it works
properly on your system. (You must run `configure' beforehand, but you
need not build Make itself to run this test.)
Another potential source of porting problems is the support for large
files (LFS) in configure for those operating systems that provide it.
Please report any bugs that you find in this area. If you run into
difficulties, then as a workaround you should be able to disable LFS by
adding the `--disable-largefile' option to the `configure' script.
On systems that support micro- and nano-second timestamp values and
where stat(2) provides this information, GNU make will use it when
comparing timestamps to get the most accurate possible result. However,
note that many current implementations of tools that *set* timestamps do
not preserve micro- or nano-second granularity. This means that "cp -p"
and other similar tools (tar, etc.) may not exactly duplicate timestamps
with micro- and nano-second granularity on some systems. If your build
system contains rules that depend on proper behavior of tools like "cp
-p", you should consider using the .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME pseudo-target to
force make to treat them properly. See the manual for details.

On systems that support micro- and nano-second timestamp values and
where stat(2) provides this information, GNU make will use it when
comparing timestamps to get the most accurate possible result. However,
at the moment there is no system call (that I'm aware of) that will
allow you to *set* a timestamp to a micro- or nano-second granularity.
This means that "cp -p" and other similar tools (tar, etc.) cannot
exactly duplicate timestamps with micro- and nano-second granularity.
If your build system contains rules that depend on proper behavior of
tools like "cp -p", you should configure make to not use micro- and
nano-second timestamps with the --disable-nsec-timestamps flag.
