Not directly relevant, but I put a feature into the newlib build earlier

Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC, GCC already requires gmake.

Correct. 3.80 or later. I don't think we exploit too many GNU makefeatures, but gmake 3.80 is now a prerequisite for GCC.

As newlib is commonly used with GCC, probably everybody who uses newlib
also uses gmake :-)

I'd be surprised if anyone is using newlib with anything other than gcc.But then again, I'm continually surprised by how some folks bolttogether various components to build systems.
