Did I send you a copy of boot-strap?  It will be included in 3.1.19
its what I use when building bmake for machines at work (FreeBSD,
SunOS, Linux)

I'm currently working out what to do about building on FreeBSD 4.8,
which sets a bunch of -W flags that make cannot survive (no const
correctness, unused function args etc).  For 3.1.19 I'll probably just
force all warnings off for FreeBSD which how they build make.
I've made a start at getting our make to compile with all these
warnings but I'm not sure its worth it.

That won't work. Sorry, for not being clear, you either need

configure --with-mksrc=/var/tmp/bmake/mk

so that the MKSRC setting in makefile.boot is correct
or set MKSRC=/var/tmp/bmake/mk on the make command line as in

gmake -f makefile.boot MKSRC=/var/tmp/bmake/mk

so that MKSRC will be overridden.

Definitely don't do that ;-)

Yep, that's why you want to use install-mk which is what makefile.boot
does.  

Simply using the boot-strap script that will come in bmake-3.1.19
will make life much simpler.

Ok, that's what I'd expect - given Solaris tr.
With 3.1.19 you'd get:

sunos5 and sparc.

and --with-machine=sparc too if that's what you want.
I actually find the sunos5 bit handy since I use $HOST_TARGET a lot
which for SunOS might be sunos5-sparc

Not really.  Putting it in the environment works better, since if you
set  MAKEOBJDIR='obj-${MACHINE_ARCH}' mk.conf won't be read until
after your setting of MACHINE_ARCH is needed.

Anyway, you can now grab bmake-3.1.19.tar.gz (and mk-1.3.3.tar.gz) from 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/incoming/sjg/

I've just boot-strap'ed it on the OS's mentioned above.
