We're discussing this on the devel mailing list to resolve the above
statement, which I think refers specifically to the mechanisms of the
RTEMS Application Makefiles, and not to the general use of 'Makefile'
as an application build system. Make should continue to be supported,
but perhaps the mechanics of the current approach will change
slightly. As a community-oriented project, we are keen to ensure that
users face the least resistance, which also means trying to expand
support to other platforms where Make is less well-supported.

I think the above statement was just worded a bit vaguely.
