    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Ironically, make's attempt to be super-duper careful about catching write
errors to stdout (in the close_stdout function) results in a spurious error
message when the user has already closed stdout:

% cat makefile
.PHONY: all
all:; date

% make 1>&-
make: write error

Patch attached.
