It's probably fairly straightforward to translate it to GNU makefile syntax, but there is one downside: trying to maintain parallel build systems is awkward. This is a problem in the LLVM family of projects, for instance, which have up to three build systems: GNU make, cmake, and Xcode project files. Almost every change that adds or removes files breaks one of them. The elftoolchain build is certainly much more straightforward than those projects, but I'm still not sure the benefit of having GNU Makefiles would be worth that trouble. > I will let you know how it goes, im looking at using it with pcc and > musl-libc. Sounds good, I'm interested in seeing how you get on. Also, I have a fork of elftoolchain on Github at https://github.com/emaste/elftoolchain. I am using this to collect fixes for issues discovered as we work to incorporate elftoolchain into FreeBSD, and there are about 20 fixes and improvements there that have not yet made it to the upstream repository. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
