I just committed the following:

2006-01-31  Thomas Schwinge  <tschwinge@gnu.org>

        Cleanup of GNU Mach's build system.  The system dependend parts are now
        handeled by the respective Makefile and no longer by the top-level one.
        
        * configure, i386/configure, i386/linux/configure, linux/configure:
        Regenerated.

        * Makefile.in: Various cleanups.
        (mach/machine, mach_machine): Targets removed.
        (AWK, CC, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, DEFINES, INCLUDES, INSTALL, INSTALL_DATA)
        (INSTALL_PROGRAM, LD, MIG, MIGFLAGS, NM): Variables moved into
        Makerules.in.
        Do not include $(sysdep)/Makefrag anymore.
        (all, check, clean, distclean, mostlyclean, maintainer-clean, install)
        (install-headers, install-kernel): Recurse into the system dependend
        subdirectory.
        (check): Add a basic test using mbchk.
        (clean, distclean): Be more explicit in what to delete.
        ($(systype)/%): New target.
        (kernel.o): Incorporate the system dependend archive.
        (installed-sysdep-headers-names, $(installed-sysdep-headers-names)):
        Variable and target moved into the system dependend Makefile.in.
        (install-headers, mkheaderdirs): Don't care for the system dependend
        header files.
        (%.symc, %.symc.o, %.h, %_user.c, %_interface.h, %_server.c): Targets
        moved into Makerules.in.
        Inclusion of dependency files: Likewise.
        (%.migs_d, %.migu_d, %.migsh_d, %.miguh_d, make-deps, %.d): Likewise.
        Include Makerules.
        * Makerules.in: New file, mainly based on Makefile.in.
        * configure.in: Do not substitute cross_compiling and not explicitly
        substitute LDFLAGS.
        Check for cpp, ranlib, ar and mbchk.
        Care for the mach/machine symbolic link.
        Add Makerules as a config file.
        * i386/Makefile.in: Various cleanups.
        Merge i386/Makefrag and the system dependent stuff from Makefile.in
        into this file.
        (all, check, install, install-headers, install-kernel): Recurse into
        the system dependend subdirectory.
        (sysdep.o): transformed to the new target sysdep.a.
        (linux/linux.o): Target removed.
        (clean, distclean): Be more explicit in what to delete.
        (linux/%): New target.
        (install-headers): Install the system dependend header files.
        (mkheaderdirs): New target.
        Include the top-level Makerules.
        * i386/Makefrag: File removed.
        * i386/Makerules.in: New file.
        * i386/configure.in: Synchronize AC_INIT to the top-level definition.
        Do not check for ld and make.
        Add Makerules as a config file.
        * i386/linux/Makefile.in: Various cleanups.
        Replace linux-objs with objfiles.
        (check, install, install-headers, install-kernel): New empty targets.
        Don't care about linux-flags if no_deps is true.
        Inclusion of dependency files removed and instead...
        Include the top-level Makerules.
        * i386/linux/Makerules.in: New file.
        * i386/linux/configure.ac: Synchronize AC_INIT to the top-level
        definition.
        Do not check for gcc and ld.
        Do not explicitly substitute LDFLAGS.
        Add Makerules as a config file.
        * linux/configure.in: Synchronize AC_INIT to the top-level definition.
        Do not create directories using a dummy file.
        * linux/dummy.in: File removed.
        
        * ddb/db_access.h: Include <machine/vm_param.h> instead of
        "vm_param.h".
        * kern/bootstrap.c: Likewise.
        * kern/thread.c: Likewise.
        * vm/vm_kern.c: Likewise.
        * vm/vm_object.c: Likewise.
        * vm/vm_resident.c: Likewise.


Everything should work as it did before; if it doesn't: please report so
that we can fix it.


Additionally, as an extra bounty, we now got the LPR driver compiled into
GNU Mach again, so if you have a printer connected to your box, be sure
to give it a try and report whether it works at all.
