(original) (raw)
I don't know how widespread gmake is, but I certainly don't want Python to be dependent on GNU tools exclusively. You don't have to use GCC to compile it. (Autoconfig is a different story, it only is needed when config.in changes. Similar, readline is optional.)

Working in the DTRACE probes, I think I can simplify the build logic
quite a bit using the GNU Makefile conditional execution:
<https://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/make/Conditional-Syntax.html>.
In concrete, I have object files that must be compiled and linked, or
not, according to a "configure" test result.
But currently I think we are not using these features. Maybe because
we don't want to force the use of GMAKE, I don't know.
If this is a policy, I would like to know.
And if somebody has a suggestion to cope with this difficulty...
