Hi, Roman & All:
In 2.6.19 (and Linus' curent tree), I found the following:
libpath=$$dir/lib; lib=qt; osdir=""; \
$(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory > /dev/null 2>&1 && \
osdir=x$$($(HOSTCXX) -print-multi-os-directory); \
test -d $$libpath/$$osdir && libpath=$$libpath/$$osdir; \
What does the little 'x' do in front of $$(foo)? It looks suspiciously
like a typo to me.
I think Jason caught it, but I didn't see a correction sent out.

yes. looks like an error to me too...i left it out of an internal patch to
this code. Since we are testing for the existence of the directory, it has
probably gone unnoticed.

Indeed, it looks like it. It's the fallback path nowadays, so I guess it
wasn't noticed so far.
bye, Roman
