Re: posix compliance test

If you need tools beyond what POSIX calls for for a POSIX compliance
test suite, I would say the test suite is cripplingly broken.  In
particular, if a POSIX-conforming make isn't good enough I have trouble
taking the test suite seriously.  (Not that it's my decision, of
course.)

Or is NetBSD's make not POSIX enough?  Then I'd say NetBSD needs to fix
that first.
