- I'd like to suggest that it be made possible to compile gnu make without
- needing a working make to begin with. Apparently Sun doesn't ship make
- with minimal Solaris systems, so I lost.

- No doubt I can find a Solaris binary somewhere, but still!
-
- It shouldn't be too hard to write a script that will translate the existing
- Makefile into a list of the commands necessary to do the first full compile.
