I'll also add your make and autoconf to the status list ( http://unixos2.com/pages/Status.html )... though by the sounds of it I shouldn't mark them as "complete" just yet, huh?

I've uploaded a new version of make: binaries: http://unix.os2site.com/pub/binary/make-3_81rc1-bin.zip sources: http://unix.os2site.com/pub/source/make-3_81rc1.zip This is release candidate 1. Please, give it a try so that the final 3.81 will be the first official release with working OS/2 support. Notes: The parallelization stuff should work now. All internal tests work fine. The parallelization code has been rewritten since make 3.76. The new "job server" is supposed to share its n jobs between _different_ sub makes in a (Posix) reliable way. See http://make.paulandlesley.org/jobserver.html for details. Bye, Andreas
