Two points.
- Aren't the constructs you ripped out not GCC extension,
rather proper ISO C99?
- Our Makefile is pretty GNU already. I think people have
pointed out and ripped out bashisms from our shell scripts,
but I would not be surprised if the default Sun /bin/sh does
not understand POSIXy features some of them use.
