Hi Helmut

after looking a bit closer, I forwarded this to upstream. I am afraid
that there is not too much else I could do: locally patching all lines
in the affected Makefiles is not really maintainable. And it looks that
this hides some errors that may be safely ignored; so one really would
have to go through the whole build chain to check. Let's see what I get
together with upstream.

Policy 4.6 seems (for me) however only to address self-written Makefiles
("Every time *you* put more than one shell command...") - f.e. d/rules.
A compromise would be to provide a list of all required files and to
compare this with the actual build, letting the build fail on failure.

Best

Ole
