has anybody ever _successfully_ built gcc+gpc with BSD make?
I haven't tried it. According to the GCC docs, GNU make is required. Is this any problem? You can easily install GNU make, say as gmake, on a BSD system as well.
The hard I try, I only get a circular dependency which I don't find in the generated Makefile or the input graph (maybe I'm just too stupid tho).
It's related to the Pascal RTS. It's rather indirect AFAIK. See p/rts/Makefile: in gcc/p/Make-lang.in, and the comments there.
If you really want to take the pains to go through all those recursive makefiles and variables and find a clean solution, that will be appreciated. OTOH, this part will change complete when GPC is integrated into GCC, so it's not really so important. (GNU make finds this circularity too, but it only warns about it.)
