Hi,
            [Please retain the CC to address@hidden so
            that the Debian Bug Tracking system can record your input]

          This has been reported by a debian user.

zircon$ make -f ''
make: file.c:57: lookup_file: Assertion *name != '\0'' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Clearly passing in an empty string as the filename is an error, but
I think it should be reported to the user in a more friendly manner
than by dumping core with an assertion failure...

In contrast:
zircon$ make -C ''
make: *** : No such file or directory.  Stop.

 A student asked the master for help... does this program run from the
 Workbench? The master grabbed the mouse and pointed to an icon. "What
 is this?" he asked. The student replied "That's the mouse". The
 master pressed control-Amiga-Amiga and hit the student on the head
 with the Amiga ROM Kernel Manual. Amiga Zen Master Peter da Silva
