I don't know how widespread gmake is, but I certainly don't want Python to be dependent on GNU tools exclusively. You don't have to use GCC to compile it. (Autoconfig is a different story, it only is needed when <a href="http://config.in">config.in</a> changes. Similar, readline is optional.)<br>

Working in the DTRACE probes, I think I can simplify the build logic<br>
quite a bit using the GNU Makefile conditional execution:<br>
<<a href="https://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/make/Conditional-Syntax.html" target="_blank">https://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/make/Conditional-Syntax.html</a>>.<br>
<br>
In concrete, I have object files that must be compiled and linked, or<br>
not, according to a "configure" test result.<br>
<br>
But currently I think we are not using these features. Maybe because<br>
we don't want to force the use of GMAKE, I don't know.<br>
<br>
If this is a policy, I would like to know.<br>
<br>
And if somebody has a suggestion to cope with this difficulty...<br>
