#15009 — Re: The usage of `cd builtins && $(MAKE) ...`

Hi,

I'm afraid that you are in wrong mailing list. I'm putting this list on
bcc. You can consider asking at one of autotools lists

https://www.lrde.epita.fr/~adl/autotools.html

I would choose automake one. But yes, I believe that it's because not
every make clone has -C.

Cheers
