Continued offenses, rather than substantiating your claims.

This cosmetic GNU make bug that you've been ranting about for years,
which isn't a warning, has not, to my knowledge, caused any code to be
miscompiled. If you think otherwise, then you'll need to provide the GNU
make maintainers with such information so they are aware of the
severity.

However, until you can substantiate your claims, it's just Schilling's
usually offensive ranting and not a make "bug". Besides that, you can
just use "-include" to suppress the message. It even works in smake and
BSD make ...
