This comes from the September, 1983 issue of

Systems", Western Electric UNIX Systems Support

Call #:101128 / CPU: ALL / Area: make
Problem: "make" has code that erroneously
recognizes VPATH environment variable; this
causes serious problems for programs that use
build.

My conclusion:  do not use undocumented features,
unless you intend to support them yourself!!
