OpenLDAP needs more active developers... Anyway:
It should remove GNU Make dependencies, not introduce them: Only use
'$<' in inference rules, not explicit target rules (like ITS#7160).
Drop '%.x: %.y' rules. I've scribbled a draft for that at repo
<http://folk.uio.no/hbf/OpenLDAP/openldap.git>, branch its6883.
(Not tested, and I need to install a non-Gnu Make to test with too.)
I'll work at it later, but don't quite know when. Unless you
beat me to it.
Also I suppose '+=' should go away. Which I would mean move what
is added to a new variable so the user can easily say things like
make CPPFLAGS='-Dwhatever $(DEFS)'.
Or maybe use
LT_CPPFLAGS= ..whatever $(CPPFLAGS) ...
like e.g. slapd/overlays/Makefile ends up doing. THat one has an
awful number of Make variables and is fairly unreadable to me,
probably to satisfy autoconf & co. But a few more vars seems useful.
