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.
