  tl> These chapters don't really exist, do they?

No, gotcha!  I get my kicks by lying to people on USENET.

Sheesh.

"Not too helpful"?  I count 45 separate bullet items in this chapter
alone, listing features of GNU make that some or all other makes don't
have, with hyperlink references to places in the GNU make manual where
you can find more details about each of them.

Pretty much every feature of GNU make not contained in POSIX.2 make is
listed here.

Just what exactly are you looking for, anyway?
