It seems that you never did read and understand the GPL :-(
The GPL is as holey as a Swiss cheese when talking about the compile
environment:
- It requires scripts to be present, but makefiles are no scripts,
they are just code in a different language.
- Sources based on the Schily Makefilesystem require 'smake' to
compile on all platforms. Smake is not part of the source packages
and not required by the GPL. On some of the platorms GNU make
may help you but as GNU make is extremely buggy, you will have
problems on almost every platform although GNU make claims to
run enywhere. GNU make is not even present on mostz platforms.
- The GPL does not require the Compiler or other needed programs
to be part of the sources although they may be needed.
If you would understand enough from the topic, you would understand that
the "related" makefiles of my software are always present under the same
license as the rest of the project but the unrelated (because project
indepentent) makefilesystem is just available under it's native license.
