Re: Rebuilding make

1. doc/fdl.texi and doc/make-stds.texi files are missing from the archive.

I solved (1) by adding these files from the original UNIX archive. Of course i can solve (2) by tweaking config/dospaths.m4, however perhaps i don't know something ? How do you build make ?
Just FYI: i have tweaked dospaths.m4 and built a working make. After this i successfully patched it to use spawn(). For benchmarking i used 'all' then 'clean' targets on make's own source code.

'clean' target runs especially faster, you see the difference with a naked eye. I believe in case of gcc there's disk access factor.
