The new load feature in Make 4.0 is great but I am finding that the use of "load" as a keyword breaks a lot of Makefiles.
In embedded development where Make is used in cross-compiling for a target processor, "load" is common as a dummy target to start up/down-load code or run on a target. In this context using "load" as a keyword is almost as bad as using "clean" would be.
This can be fixed either by changing the keyword (e.g. load_object) or by making the parser smart enough to distinguish between a target and a directive.
