GNU Make replacement

[mvanveen]

There is not AFAIK a decent "GNU Make" alternative that is sufficiently compatible with GNU Make to be able to build all of the various software we will be compiling.

• remake is a GNU Make fork (kind of a cop out)

there is also this article on gnu make vs bad make: http://alfix.gitlab.io/bsd/gnu/coding/2017/01/28/gnu-make-vs-bsd-make.html

looks like a potentially really good deep dive into what actually goes on inside the make command for the kernel specifically: https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/Misc/linux-misc-2.html

could be a good resource to determine e.g. the extent to which the GNU extensions are a requirement for building the kernel
