make and the hurd

[Gustav van der Merwe]

Just glancing over bug-hurd and commit-hurd it seems a lot of time is
spent chasing and updating configure and make files rather than actual
source code (although I must admit I am very impressed still by the
maintenance given by the community, special grats to Thomas Schwinge
without whom the traffic on these lists would be significantly lower).
Is there perhaps some better infrastructure that could be used to reduce
this overhead?
A different make system, some kind of automation?
Or perhaps I am overreading the traffic, let me know.

Thanks
