Subject: Strange bug with common.mk, File, Test::Unit

Hi all,

Ruby 1.8.6-p114
OS X, Solaris, Windows XP and Linux

I added a couple of test tasks in the common.mk file so that I could 
test specific subsets of test files. Below are just two that I added.

Nevermind that 'test/core/Array' doesn't exist. That's not the problem. 
After running configure & make, I get the following with 'make test-array':

daniel-bergers-computer:~/src/ruby/ruby-1.8.6-p114 djberge$ make test-array
./miniruby  ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- "./test/runner.rb" 
--basedir="./test/core/Array" --runner=console
Loaded suite .
Started

Finished in 0.000144 seconds.

0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

Ok, no problem, the directory doesn't exist, so no tests run.

Now try make test-file:

daniel-bergers-computer:~/src/ruby/ruby-1.8.6-p114 djberge$ make test-file
./miniruby  ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- "./test/runner.rb" 
--basedir="./test/core/File" --runner=console

make: *** [test-file] Error 1

What the heck is going on here? Some sort of strange scoping bug with 
regards to "File"? I can't narrow it down.

To make things even more confusing, this only happens on Linux and OS X, 
but not Windows or Solaris.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan
