I am currently working on a self-hosting SchilliX, this is why I created a OSS replacement for cpp. "make" (dmake) is part of the Sun Studio consolidation and as you currently need Sun Studio aynyway, make is not a specific separate problem. I will however work on a dmake replacement based on smake in the future. Before I start with this effort, I will however first work on Xorg and GNOME for SchillIX. This delay does not seem to be a real problem as I expect that we have more important things things to do now, than to work on a compiler replacement.
