we replaced pmkstat with pmstat, which has essentially the

Tod, FYI I've made a change to the Makepkgs script so it just uses "make"
by default (or $MAKE if set in the env). I also changed the top level
GNUmakefile to do this :
ifneq (,)
This makefile requires GNU Make.

This is a handy gem from glibc src that checks you're using gmake.

pmdumptext is built over a C++ PCP API that we haven't released
to open source.

pmem needed detailed per-process memory usage metrics that didn't used
to be available, that is until Mike Mason's recent patch added most
of what is needed. So it should now be reasonably feasible. If I arrange
for pmem to be open sourced, would anyone be able to take on porting it
to linux?
psmon is not released open source because it interacts with some PCP
GUI tools that are not open source. Do you have a particular need for it?
