this is pmake 1 from BSD that buids on debian
http://sourceforge.net/projects/debguys ... 0.1.tar.gz
debian's pkmake doesn't build the source or work the same - at least not using GNU/Linux
(see ITP - build LSF , debian's pmake-1.1111 works if you apply a long hack)
with pmake 1 you can build pmake 5 , which works on a large number of builds that use pmake Makefiles (usu. BSD origin code, but not always). with pmake-5 you can build about any Makefile that requires "pmake", 5 has most features makefile make use of.
(see ITP build LFS) : with pmake 1 the "build" script can wget and make base/stable/5/usr.bin/make straight off BSD repository without fail (as well as some other BSD things that aren't very tied to libc of bsd)
