If its portage side only, fine. Trying to clear this:
gmake is installed in Linux systems with make and gmake names. This is true not only for Gentoo but also for most of the linux distributions I know. A lot of scripts checks gmake support before 'make' and uses that if they found it. Most of the autotools stuff works fine on both gmake and bsdish make. There are a few cases in which we *really really really* need to use gmake (and a few we *really really really* need to use bsdmake). What I'd like to see if 'make' used when every kind of make is supported (gnu, bsd, whatever will come) and 'gmake' or 'bsdmake' when they are strictly required. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò Gentoo Developer - http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/ (Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, Gentoo/AMD64, Sound, PAM)
