+* WARNING: Deprecation!
+ The following systems are deprecated in this release:

+ - AmigaOS
+ In the NEXT release of GNU make, support for these systems will be removed.

* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
GNU make now uses temporary files in more situations than previous releases.
If your build system sets TMPDIR (or TMP or TEMP on Windows) and deletes the
contents during the build, or uses restrictive permissions, this may cause

- GNU make by setting the new MAKE_TMPDIR environment variable. Note that
- this value CANNOT be set inside the makefile, since make needs to find its
- temporary directory before the makefiles are parsed.
