Subject:   A couple of points about ports

A lot of ports under 2.X suffer from a different definition of "sys_errlist" 
Most of the times the patches symply remove the offending line in the
source. Is there any better way ? In stdio.h, there are a couple of
macros, ANSI_SOURCE and POSIX_SOURCE if I remember well, which might
solve the problem. Which one is better for this purpose ?

Second: some ports (one example is freeWAIS, another cern_httpd) do not
compile with bmake, they require gmake. Unfortunately, make is called
recursively and the top level make requires bmake... again, is there a
way to solve this without patching the makefiles ? Such as putting an
option in the toplevel makefile to specify that gmake should be used
for recursive calls...
