Yes - there is some horrible sterilisation of build related things due
to the change there - unfortunately, the change is taking a while :-)
not at all helped by the "stop until gnumake4 is merged" putting a big
mutex on any gnumake work for the last month+. Bjoern promises to
release that mutex this week.

Yes - something for mere mortals, and it'd be fantastic to have you
working on it. By far the best thing to do is to check out the
feature/gnumake4 branch - and build on top of that work - pick a module
to convert and work on it I guess. I don't think it's -that- difficult,
instead of reading any docs, I'd read the existing makefiles that are in
already converted projects - it shouldn't be -so- hard to untangle what
to do from that. Best to let others know what module you're working on
though.
HTH,
Michael.
