I was investigating building julia with threading disabled and discovered changing the value in
Make.inc
did not seem to be doing anything. After some investigation, I found out that the comment on the same line in the variable declaration was causing the variable value to have trailing whitespace characters, and so theifneq ($(JULIA_THREADS), 0)
just always returned true. This behavior is noted in the GNU make manual.I saw there were a couple other places where the same thing happened so I changed those and added a warning up top. Let me know if that's just adding noise and I can remove the warning.
