There is something wrong with the way make works in trunk. A regular "make" completes, but doing

touch (a source file) make -n

results in

... Making all in po make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk/po' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk/po' make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk' if perl ./po/check-markup ./po/*.po; [ $? = 1 ]; then \ echo "WARNING: Bad markup found in translations. Please consider fixing the above problems." >&2; \ fi if test ! -f config.h; then rm -f stamp-h1; else :; fi if test ! -f config.h; then make stamp-h1; else :; fi make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/inkscape_trunk'

Just me or does that happen for other people too? I need make -n to work so that I can see which compiler flags are being used on certain files.
