I think this is great. +1

Any improvements in this area would be greatly appreciated.

In particular, my personal nit is that the Solaris build system lags behind 
some other build systems for large OS-scope projects. For instance, we don't 
have incremental linking (I can't build one .c file and link in .o files from 
the gate's build which didn't change), and incremental builds are slow because 
of relying on make to handle the dependencies dynamically, rather than 
statically generating the dependency tree.

Yes please.

I think your proposal clearly defines the scope, and it appears that this is 
just fine, any overlap would be healthy in this case.
