looks like a potentially really good deep dive into what actually goes on inside the make
command for the kernel specifically: https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/Misc/linux-misc-2.html
could be a good resource to determine e.g. the extent to which the GNU extensions are a requirement for building the kernel
There is not AFAIK a decent "GNU Make" alternative that is sufficiently compatible with GNU Make to be able to build all of the various software we will be compiling.
there is also this article on gnu make vs bad make: http://alfix.gitlab.io/bsd/gnu/coding/2017/01/28/gnu-make-vs-bsd-make.html
