NetBSD support in 3.3.10.4 about libv8

[geoffgarside]

I'm not that familiar with NetBSD, is its make a GNU make or a BSD make?

By default, "make" is a BSD make. However, most anyone doing development on it would have installed GNU make as well, as "gmake", using the usual NetBSD package.

Packages do not live in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, but /usr/pkg/bin if you find the need to search for things.

Seems like NetBSD has the same problem as FreeBSD at the moment then. The v8 Makefile is a GNUMake one which BSDMake doesn't like. I'm wondering if it should try to use gmake first as some linux distros also alias make to gmake and then fall back to make if it gmake isn't available.

+1 check for gmake. There are other issues with FreeBSD but I will open them as separate issues.

Which version of gcc gets bundled with NetBSD? I've been testing with FreeBSD today and getting build failures due to the system GCC being too old, specifically http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1843

I suspect 4.1 will have the same issue as 4.2, if you pkg_add GCC 4.4 or 4.6 does it name the executables like g++44 or g++46?
