Andrew is keeping this list to remind Linux people on the incompatibility.
The difference between Linux and Solaris is that Solaris has been certified
for being SUSv3 compliant.
....even though, Sun make ignores POSIX requirements that would cause most
software to fail. Sun Make does e.g. the same as smake does now again
(after I tried to make smake POSIX compliant by calling commands via 'sh -c').
Sun make and smake both call commands via 'sh -ce'. The difference between
me and Linus however seems to be that I believe we should try to fix POSIX
if is inconstent and not just ignore it because someone believes it is
ionapropriate to follow specific demands.
