Porting NetBSD make to Interix

[Jerker Bäck <jerker.back%gmail.com@localhost>]

I wonder if someone could guide me in porting NetBSD make to Interix.

As usual with NetBSD source, make builds out of the box in Interix. But,
when running the make tests however, bmake hangs and there are error
messages.

Any clues or tips?
