$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    unavailable
Distributor ID: Linux From Scratch
Description:    Linux From Scratch

-------------------------------------

On a newer system: GNU Make 4.2.1, gcc-6.2.0, glibc-2.24

Build was clean, but make said:

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/bdubbs/grep-2.25.101-be82/lib'
Makefile:1699: target '.deps/alloca.Po' given more than once in the same rule

This message was given twice.

Test counts were the same as above, but also said:
