In case autotools is an option for you (which will in the end create
a GNU make compatible makefile), have a look at autotools support in
ticket #321 : http://sourceforge.net/p/elftoolchain/tickets/321/#cf36.

Most probably that supplied patch is a bit outdated after 2+ years.

It is actually part of:

svn diff svn://svn.riscos.info/gccsdk/trunk/tools/elftoolchain/{upstream-trunk,current-trunk}

'upstream-trunk' follows sf.net svn trunk but I'm no longer regulary
syncing it.

FYI, the remaining parts in that diff are other fixes which have been sent
upstream but I'm not sure whether they are already accepted or not.

As said in above ticket comment, my main motivation was cross-compiler
support so pmake wasn't an option for me.

John.
