5# SYNOPSIS
6#
7#   AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
8#
9# DESCRIPTION
10#
11#   This macro searches for a GNU version of make. If a match is found:
12#
13#     * The makefile variable `ifGNUmake' is set to the empty string, otherwise
14#       it is set to "#". This is useful for including a special features in a
15#       Makefile, which cannot be handled by other versions of make.
16#     * The variable `_cv_gnu_make_command` is set to the command to invoke
17#       GNU make if it exists, the empty string otherwise.
18#     * The variable `ax_cv_gnu_make_command` is set to the command to invoke
19#       GNU make by copying `_cv_gnu_make_command`, otherwise it is unset.
20#     * If GNU Make is found, its version is extracted from the output of
21#       `make --version` as the last field of a record of space-separated
22#       columns and saved into the variable `ax_check_gnu_make_version`.
23#
24#   Here is an example of its use:
25#
26#   Makefile.in might contain:
27#
28#     # A failsafe way of putting a dependency rule into a makefile
29#     $(DEPEND):
30#             $(CC) -MM $(srcdir)/*.c > $(DEPEND)
31#
32#     @ifGNUmake@ ifeq ($(DEPEND),$(wildcard $(DEPEND)))
33#     @ifGNUmake@ include $(DEPEND)
34#     @ifGNUmake@ endif
35#
36#   Then configure.in would normally contain:
37#
38#     AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
39#     AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
40#
41#   Then perhaps to cause gnu make to override any other make, we could do
42#   something like this (note that GNU make always looks for GNUmakefile
43#   first):
44#
45#     if  ! test x$_cv_gnu_make_command = x ; then
46#             mv Makefile GNUmakefile
47#             echo .DEFAULT: > Makefile ;
48#             echo \  $_cv_gnu_make_command \$@ >> Makefile;
49#     fi
50#
51#   Then, if any (well almost any) other make is called, and GNU make also
52#   exists, then the other make wraps the GNU make.
