I have managed to build a GNU make 3.81 on Solaris 8 (x86 & sparc),
and on the old Linux systems we use for jdk5 and jdk6.
I have a 3.81 make.exe for cygwin that works, so all I'm missing
at this point is a gnumake.exe that will work with MKS builds.
GNU make builds very easy on *nix systems (./configure && make),
I'll see if I can build an MKS version so we have a complete set.
As to updating the public area /java/devtools, that's another issue.

Hi Kelly,

So I'm trying to work out some jdk7 Makefile performance improvements
and everything is working out fine on Linux and OpenSolaris...
Then I discover that the GNU make features I'm using are seriously
broken in GNU make 3.80 and I need 3.81 to get around it. :^(
On Solaris 10 /usr/sfw/bin/gmake (which IIRC comes from the Solaris
companion CD) is 3.80.
/java/devtools/sparc/bin/gnumake is 3.78.1
I presume the devtools version will be updated to 3.81 ?
Updating /usr/sfw/bin/gmake seems less clear ...
