Would you care if I gave up the fight and > required GNU-make to build dnsmasq? :D Being a Gentoo user as well, I know ebuilds can tweak the makefile before running it. It just needs a permanent "convention" with the ebuild maintainer. I hence think it's not necessary to give up the makefile syntax for GNU on BSD. Anyway thank you very much for your job, Simon. I've been using dnsmasq for years now and still will for a long time to come.
