Hello

During the last week I have been fighting with bmake trying to get
it to work on SCO-ODT 2.0 and Linux but I'm about to give up.
On SCO I managed to get a working bmake by running
	./bootmake bmake
instead of the standard targets; unfortunately the compiler
gives up while working on the backend.

On Linux I didn't even get bootmake running 8*(

Why does Postgres use such a badly portable tool? It's seems it's made
just to work on SunOS (where I have Postgres running) and Ultrix.

Has anyone written a portable bmake? Is there some way to convert
the makefile into something that ordinary make understands or maybe
in Imakefiles?

HELP! SOS! MAYDAY......
