We don't bundle make with GCC, do we? We don't, and it don't see how this comparison is relevant -- how is being make-ish relevant to whether something is bundling or whether something is acceptable to bundle? Unlike Zuo only being used as part of Racket and developed as part of Racket (to my knowledge), "make" is used and developed outside GCC, with an independent release cycle. Greetings, Maxime.
