            Bug ID: 100933
           Summary: install cannot stat include-fixed/limits.h
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.2.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: nicolas at debian dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Hello.

I have been bitten by the exact bug described at:
https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc/2013-04/msg00171.html

The work-around described there worked for me : run 'make && make install'
directly instead of via wrappers (dh_auto_build and dh_auto_install) that parse
'make -n' before normal operation.

The issue seems difficult, but please at least provide a hint in the error
message at install time.  Without this post, I would probably  never have found
a work-around.

Thanks.

I doubt we are going to fix "make -n" as it is just a debugging tool of
makefiles rather than actually something which should be used.
