Message-ID: <E16kxaj-0003hr-00@giblet> (raw)

i notice in some guile makefiles:

  SOME-COMMAND > $@ || { rm $@; false; }

can this be replaced equiavalently w/ simply:

  SOME-COMMAND > $@

?  won't make(1) automatically remove $@ if SOME-COMMMAND fails?
is this some kind of kludge for broken make programs?
