You're preaching to the choir here. I try to build as much as possible with
Solaris make, and often have to fix the GNU-make-ism's that don't get caught
in review, but I've never taken the time to work out a portable solution to
the sdksyms/sinclude stuff in hw/xfree86/loader/Makefile.am - are you actually
building current Xorg head (or a release since 1.7) with OpenBSD make? If so,
then I guess OpenBSD must have adopted that GNU-ism.
