Is there any option of gmake, or any automatic tool that can do the following: - given the GNUMakefile on input, produce equivalent plain-make makefile ? That is, to rewrite the gnu makefile into plain-vanilla makefile (expanding %-ss, rewriting inlining includes and ifs, inlining all $() functions etc etc)
This is similar to '-n' option, but the output would be in the plainMakefile format, (including dependencies).
Such a tool would allow us to use Sun's dmake (Sun's distribute make) with out gnu makefiles.

Have you considered implementing the features of Sun's dmake
that you're interested in in GNU make instead? If they are
generally useful you might get more support for that project
than for the alternative you are proposing.
You might want to take a look at the qmake utility being part of the Sun Grid Engine (http://gridengine.sunsource.net).
It is based on GNU make 3.38.1 and distributes the make tasks on any number of hosts in a Grid Engine cluster.
