No, that isn't necessary. My hope would be to use the official version
of make in native win32 (MSVCRT) build from within MSYS.
Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.
You said that config.sub and config.guess need to be modified for them
to DTRT for the MSYS build of Make, so I suggested to make the
necessary magic as part of the Make distro, either as alternate
versions of those scripts, or, better yet, to have a script that would
edit them as part of the build, before we run the configure script.
How is this related to using ``the official version of make in native
win32''? We are talking about running the configure script, not about
running Make. What am I missing?
