Well, I had years to study the differences and there are many. What you
do think of is "-C gnu" which disables any GNU-incompatible features, it
defines some GNU-Make compatible default-rules and understands some more
GNU-Make-like options. But I would think clearmake is GNU-make based.
Sure however I do not know how the "gnu emulation" is implemented :-/
