When I recently read the `make' (V 3.81) texinfo manual I noticed a few inaccuracies/miswordings/typos:

==========

3.5 The Variable `MAKEFILE_LIST'

Examples use `lastword' but footnote refers to `word' and `words'

----------

3.9 How `make' Reads a Makefile

Expansion of deferred construct => Expansion of a deferred construct

----------

4.2 Rule Syntax

in the prerequisites lise => in the prerequisites list

----------

4.9 Special Built-in Target Names

Para for `.SUFFIXES' repeated under `.SECONDEXPANSION'

==========

Attached is a small patch correcting all these.
