Comment:
Actually that's not entirely true, but it hasn't bothered me enough to
complain, yet.
The thing is, if you didn't have gmake installed it would just say to "use
'make' to build your Parrot", without ever complaining that it wasn't gnu
make (and therefor going to fail). This is especially true for Solaris,
which even chokes on the := assignments.
I think what we need (at least for now) is a check to make sure make (or
gmake) is actually gnu make. Since this is kind of a policy question and I
don't intend to write that test, I'll leave this ticket closed, but maybe
some discussion is warranted.
