Possible minor bug in manual?

I’ve just found what I think may be a very minor bug in the documentation. I’ve read yesterday the GNU coding standards, and found the next line:

 

from GNU Coding standards: at the end of 6.1 (GNU Manuals):

<< 

Please do not use the term “illegal” to refer to erroneous input to a computer program.

Please use “invalid” for this, and reserve the term “illegal” for activities prohibited by law.

>> 

 

But then I was reading the GNU Make manual, and found this line:

 

from GNU Make manual: 3.6 (Overriding Part of Another Makefile):

<< 

However, it is illegal for two makefiles to give different recipes for the

same target.

>> 

 

Hope this tiny little thing is useful…
