This port will not be copied until the current maintainer of gmake signs off 
on it.

Sorry, such a repocopy will lead to considerable confusion over which 
gmake to use.  No other infrastructure changes would happen, so this is 
likely to turn into an enormous problem, for minimal (if any) gain. 

Submitter can certainly offer up the patchset for others to try, but 
another port is simply not the right way to do things here - the 
current fun and games with various bison ports should be a pretty 
good indication of how such well-intentioned ideas can lead to major 
problems further down the road. 

As and when the GNU make folks release a new version of gmake, it will 
certainly be adopted, after testing, and it is this approach that should 
be considered here.
