CVS commit: src/usr.bin/make



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   rillig
Date:           Sat Nov 14 15:47:36 UTC 2020

Modified Files:
        src/usr.bin/make: job.c

Log Message:
make(1): use stderr for error message about failed touch

Error messages belong on stderr, not stdout.  Since at least 1993,
stdout had been used for no good reason.  Plus, in all these years,
nobody ever tested this code path since otherwise the missing newline at
the end of the error message would have been obvious.

This is a good candidate for the "oldest bug in make" trophy.
