@airtower so, there's this quote from the readme:
wolfSSL uses a single Makefile to build all parts and examples of the library, which is both simpler and faster than using Makefiles recursively.
(it's a 12941 line Makefile)

@kitten Ow! I mean, they might be right about "faster" relative to recursive make, but based on line count I doubt "simpler". And there's include to split files…

@kitten because it's a 'simple' language and in a practical buildsystem you're gonna need some abstractions to maintain some sanity

@kitten also don't you think it gets much better in a 'proper' buildsystem language
