So yeah, can you guys switch the make utility from gnu to FreeBSD's?

Is FreeBSD's is 100.0% backward compatible with GNU's? If not, that would be a breaking change. I suspect that's the reason. Even if it is compatible, switching would be a risk to the Core OS build process, since nothing is exactly 100% backward compatible. If I were on Apple's Core OS team, I probably wouldn't see the risk as worth it, especially when it's so easy for developers to install an alternate 'make' tool using e.g. Homebrew. —Jens _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
