Yes, the point was that you tried to build things that were not supported (doc,
dynlink) on architectures the author didn't plan to support, or to do things
outside of building (installing, deinstalling) and many time it failed.

I reckon that "make" is a presumptious name that may leads to wrong
expectations :-)

Was it hard to fix the makefiles?
