There are various alternatives (I'm also found http://amake.sourceforge.net/ , which
"... supports modes to be compatible to GNUmake, smake and pmake by SGI,
smake by Joerg Shilling, SUN make, WatcomMake, and the POSIX make
(called ANSII by mistake)".)
It would be interesting to know whether have anyone experience of
these versions usage.
