[GUB] error while trying to make a darwin cross-compiler

[Frédéric Bron]

Hi,

I am trying to build a cross compiler for darwin on openSUSE.

I downloaded gub (491404f3d602df5f0a86f408d44c7d345eea1a24) and ran:

$ bin/gub --verbose darwin-x86::cross/gcc

I got for example that output:
dependencies[darwin-x86]: system::gcc tools::librestrict tools::make
tools::libtool tools::file tools::tar tools::m4 tools::perl
tools::autoconf tools::patch tools::zlib tools::bzip2 tools::xzutils
tools::texinfo linux-x86::linux-headers linux-x86::cross/binutils
system::g++ tools::bison tools::flex tools::gmp tools::mpfr tools::mpc
tools::gawk linux-x86::cross/gcc-core linux-x86::glibc-core
linux-x86::cross/gcc tools::gzip linux-x86::glibc
darwin-x86::darwin-sdk tools::automake darwin-x86::python
darwin-x86::odcctools darwin-x86::cross/gcc

Then some downloads and later it came to this error saying make is too old:

any clue why?

The make download was:
 *** Stage: download (make, tools)
downloading http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/make-3.81.tar.gz ->
/home/fred/gub/downloads/make/

and the build seemed OK:
Log file: target/tools/log/make.log
building package: tools::make
 *** Stage: download (make, tools)
 *** Stage: untar (make, tools)
 *** Stage: patch (make, tools)
 *** Stage: autoupdate (make, tools)

 *** Stage: install (make, tools)

Thanks,
