Entering directory lisp too many times

Entering directory lisp too many times

[Eli Zaretskii]

Why does "make" enter the lisp/ directory 4 times at the end of the
build?

  make[2]: Entering directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for `compile-targets'.
  make[2]: Leaving directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'
  make[2]: Entering directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for `compile-targets'.
  make[2]: Leaving directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'
  make[2]: Entering directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for `compile-targets'.
  make[2]: Leaving directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'
  make[2]: Entering directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for `compile-targets'.
  make[2]: Leaving directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/gnu/bzr/emacs/trunk/lisp'

(It used to be 2 until very recently, which is also 1 too many.)

Your system probably has a low args limit.

Ah, yes, you are probably right.  Thanks.
