I did not start out "fixing make" :-)  
I start out "improving the build machinery" that drives Axiom Gold and
Silver. 

There are lot of issues discovered along the way.  Many of them are of
independent value, but since they are discovered while working on the
build improvements branch, we can barely blame people for fixing things
they are working on :-)

Of course, this patch of Waldek can (and should) be applied to silver,
in addition of the build-improvements (where the core of the work is
happening as part of the experiment).

Sure.
