This is my take, too --- I'd get plenty of use out of either version, though I'd probably prefer just a linter. While POSIX is theoretically the least common denominator, in (most) practice, GNU make is the expectation, and upholding that expectation *in addition to* the standard is usually my ideal make situation. A POSIX linter that does not necessarily include an implementation would fit well into the GNU environments I find myself in. Anyway, if anyone gets around to implementing anything along these lines, maybe send an email here; I'd be very interested in looking at and using either version! -- Lincoln Auster They/Them
