    Product Standard Commands and Utilities V4 (UNIX 03)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 5.3.4
    Test Identification POSIX.sdo/make/make 50
    Specification Shell and Utilities Issue 6
    Location in Spec make, EXTENDED DESCRIPTION, macro
    Problem Summary The result of setting MAKEFLAGS in the Makefile is unspecified.
    Problem Text The test case create a makefile that sets MAKEFLAGS to "ik", and
    set MAKEFLAGS in environment to "s". It hope that MAKEFLAGS in
    Makefile override the definition in environment.
    But according to the specification, "The result of setting
    MAKEFLAGS in the Makefile is unspecified." So I think this test
    case is not appropriate.
    Test Output 400|169 50 1 15:59:09|IC Start
    200|169 50 15:59:09|TP Start
    520|169 50 776 1 1|Assertion #50 (C): MAKEFLAGS macro set by a
    posix makefile replaces the MAKEFLAGS environment variable with
    the new value of the macro.
    520|169 50 776 4 1|The MAKEFLAGS macro in the posix makefile did
    not replace the value of MAKEFLAGS environment variable.

    Review Recommendation Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Review Response This is accepted as a fault in the test suite.

    The requirements concerning MAKEFLAGS changed between SUSv2 and SUSv3
    and this change was overlooked when the UNIX03 test mode was added to
    the test suite. The test should be changed to give a "Not In Use"
    result in UNIX03 and later modes.
