Dear "Premi, Sanjeev",
In message B85A65D85D7EB246BE421B3FB0FBB59301DE31FB63@dbde02.ent.ti.com you wrote:
I was surprised too. It is the first time ever I have seen
this problem
with any Makefile over years.
To debug I tried this:
...
Makefile:47: *** *** COBJS evaluates to [hello_world.o
smc911x_eeprom.o .o]. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/sanjeev/u-boot/examples/standalone'
make: *** [examples/standalone] Error 2
Notice the "empty" .o in the output. This prompted me to
use $(strip ...)
Indeed. I do not doubt that your modification fixes the issue.
[sp] I was only illustrating the problem.

It seems very much to me as if this was a bug in GNU Make 3.80, then.
May I please ask you to modify your poatch such that both the code and the commit message contain a comment that the added "strip" call is a workaround for a white-space handling problem in some versions of GNU make, especially version 3.80?
[sp] Sure I will do so today.
Best regards, Sanjeev
Thanks.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
