In theory, linux kbuild should be a good reference for the minimum set of makefile extensions to code. Well, in theory, the guys paid full-time at the linux fondation to work on kbuild, should have constraint themselves to use the bare minimum of makefile extensions, and be honest about it (they aren't, be carefull). suckless: better have a bit more roughness in the makefile than depends on super duper makefile extensions... which would make coding an alternative to make something crazy or insane. It's like C, the bare minimum of extensions would be those required to compile a kernel like linux (a good part of C89 syntax is already tooooo much, hence even more with C99), but the gcc inline assembly is critical. The "right" answer would be to abstract away what's really needed (minimal) from a C toolchain for a reasonable linux build (even clang/llvm people failed). -- Sylvain
