Wait ./foo or ./-foo ? IMHO it should output the latter.

Hi there,
first of all good effort. I'd like you to bring this style guide
forward to become the official suckless styleguide, not just sbase.

Heyho,
for structs I hate to use a typedef since it hides the fact that it is a struct

Hello list,

and I recently saw a reference to Fedora which, to be honest,
surprised me.

As we recently found out POSIX make is lacking. For fun I started to
write a POSIX sh script to build sbase (attached and linked[0]). I
don't know if we should use it, but it's food for thought after the
recent pain (including requiring a GNU tool). If there's interest I
can finish fleshing it out.
Void Linux [1] and (OpenBSD [2] or Bitrig [3]). Both easy to install,
configure, and use.
OpenBSD has poor multiprocessing performance but Bitrig is working on it.
Void seems, in many ways, a better Arch.
