On page 2944 line 98775 section make, change: Other implementation-defined options and macros may also be added to the MAKEFLAGS macro. to: Other implementation-defined options and macros, with the exception of the CURDIR macro, may also be added to the MAKEFLAGS macro. After page 2945 line 98797 section make, add a new paragraph: The CURDIR macro shall be treated specially. It shall be provided by make and set to an absolute pathname of the current working directory when make is executed. The value shall be the same as the pathname that would be output by the pwd utility with either the -L or -P option; if they differ, it is unspecified which value is used. The CURDIR environment variable shall not affect the value of the CURDIR macro unless the -e option is specified. If the -e option is not specified, there is a CURDIR environment variable set, and its value is different from the CURDIR macro value, the environment variable value shall be set to the macro value. If CURDIR is defined in the makefile, present in the MAKEFLAGS environment variable, or specified on the command line, it shall replace the original value of the CURDIR macro in accordance with the logical order described above, but shall not cause make to change its current working directory.
