That specific issue is pretty easy to fix.
For example,
export jplatform=`uname |awk '{print tolower($0)}'`
could become
export jplatform=${jplatform-`uname |awk '{print tolower($0)}'`}
That way, jplatform could be predefined for cross compilation:
jplatform=Darwin make
But, of course, for this to make sense, the script itself would have
to work on multiple platforms in the first place...
