I've pushed some changes to the branch require-gnu-make. So far, this
branch simplifies the dep files logic, and replaces all suffix rules by
pattern rules.

I haven't yet looked at deleting testsuite/.testrules.make. I wonder if
static pattern rules (see
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Static-Pattern.html#Static-Pattern)
are a good tool for that?

The README file already says "Using GNU make is strongly recommended".
Does it need to be clearer that using other make programs is untested
and not likely to work?
