| Subject: | Class::MOP 0.76 introduces gmake-isms into generated Makefile |
On non-linux systems the default 'make' is not gnu make, and until 0.76,
bsd make (at least) was able to use the Makefile.PL generated Makefile.
While this doesn't seem to affect CPAN installation (which seems to use
gmake by default), ports systems may (and in fact, do) have problem
compiling Class::MOP 0.76 without gmake.
Snippet from OpenBSD /usr/ports/devel/p5-Class-MOP 'make':
cp MOP.bs blib/arch/auto/Class/MOP/MOP.bs
chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/Class/MOP/MOP.bs
make: don't know how to make t/pp_072_immutable_w_constructors.t. Stop
in /usr/ports/devel/p5-Class-MOP/w-p5-Class-MOP-0.76/Class-MOP-0.76.

you should remove the gmake-ism or make your makefile GNUmakefile to
indicate its use of gmake extensions and incompatibility with standard make.
