Hello, There was once an issue related to GNU make and NetBSD make calling each other. NetBSD make was trying to parse MAKEFLAGS from GNU make, and it didn't work that well. That can be seen in this bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=189097 The issue has been fixed by a in-Debian patch, and this patch continued to be carried on right until I decided to update Debian pmake package to the recent code base, and basically switched it to bmake. What I found out when updating the package, is that recently NetBSD make started to understand MAKELEVEL environment, at least on GNU systems. First of all, this made not easy to detect if we were called by GNU make or not, so I had to revert that change, at least temporarily, to avoid rewriting more things. However, I'd like this issue to be fixed upstream. Any ideas on that? P.S. I have some more non-Debian-specific patches to NetBSD make and pkgsrc .mk files, and I think it'd be cool to get rid of custom patches. I'd be happy to co-operate with someone who could accept them into the main tree. -- WBR, Andrew
