Hi!

Building a native make with MSYS isn't the issue. Using the native
make within MSYS may be.
Is there a document which describes the process of building an MSYS
runtime GNU Make executable? Or could you give it a try and run the
testsuite to check it for us..?
I've been very busy and recently on a week of vacation. My intention
is to create a MinGWiki page to describe it but basicly:
1) You need msysDVLPR alpha package from the Snapshot installed into
the same prefix as MSYS.
2) You need to start an MSYS environment with ``MSYSTEM=MSYS start
/msys''; this will give a new window where ``uname -s'' should begin
with MSYS_ instead of MINGW32_.
3) Find all references in the source to __CYGWIN__ or __CYGWIN32__ and
add or replace it with __MSYS__; if there are any.
4) You'll need to replace the delivered config.guess and config.sub
with the ones in /usr/share/libtool; alternatively you can modify
config.guess and config.sub in the package to add a filter for MSYS
whereever you find one for CYGWIN.
5) configure && make.
Note, though the make version currently used in MSYS and CYGWIN is
modified from the official release. I do not know what the
modifications are but some of them add a --win32 and --unix switch.
