bmake's Issues

bmake can't find sys.mk

Even being installed into /usr/local/bin/ bmake complains about lack of sys.mk which is located in /usr/local/share/mk.
To fix this you should
export MAKESYSPATH=/usr/local/share/mk

It is my experience on Clear Linux which hasn't bmake in it repos.
Met it on the way of building dictd which uses own build system which uses bmake.

For Darwin ppc usage of uname -m breaks the build

uname -m gives out Power Macintosh, and that value fails to work.
Either sensible uname -p should be used for both machine and arch, or otherwise explicit value is to be set.
Passing --with-machine= or --with-force-machine= do not solve the problem: they let pass through configure stage, but then the build still breaks down since os.sh forces power macintosh as a dir name.
