Make implementations are notorious for having lots of incompatible
extensions. That's because the POSIX standard for make (which all
implementations typically adhere to) is very limited in what it
requires, so implementations have added their own features in addition
to the standard, and

files?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by software implementations... you
mean different implementation of
