System name:		frumious-bandersnatch
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.1H
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	Write an effective makefile

What's wrong:
	At least on the RT, make accepts options that are not documented
in the man page, such as -d and -p. These apparently give debugging
info, and I found them useful in determining exactly what was
transpiring in the mind of `make'.

What should have happened:
	These options should be documented.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	make(1)
