At least with gcc (and cc65) the dependency files are generated without an additional run of the C compiler. This is especially beneficial on Cygwin because of the fork() performance issue.
In order to allow for clean C code with the usual all-uppercase macro names $(TARGET) had to be converted to uppercase. Gnumake doesn't have a builtin string function for doing so, therefore sed is called. The Gnumake doc section 14.2 lists sed as one of the utilities a makefile can always presume to be available. However it states that only generally supported utility options should be used. So the GNU sed extension \U was intentionally avoided.
In order to support, some core modules are modified as follows:
core/sys/dsc.h
- If CTK_CONF_ICONS is diabled, the whole icon-related code is disabled.
- DSC_HEADER is changed to remove extra semicolon.
core/sys/process.h
- process_data_t is expressed by void* in signatures (known bug on sdcc).
core/sys/autostart.h
- autostart_processes is changed to remove extra semicolon.
core/sys/cc.h
- CC_CONF_ASSIGN_AGGREGATE is introduced.
- CC_CONF_INC_CAST_POINTER is introduced, a workaround of a kind
of sdcc bug for an increment.
core/net/hc.c
core/net/uip_arp.c
core/net/uaodv.c
- Aggregation assignments are changed to uip_ipaddr_copy.
core/net/psock.c
core/net/uipbuf.c
core/net/dhcpc.c
apps/shell/shell.c
core/ctk/vnc-server.c
core/ctk/vnc-out.c
- "register" keyword in a signature cannot be used in sdcc,
CC_REGISTER_ARG is used instead.
core/net/uip-over-mesh.c
- An extra semicolon is removed.
apps/dhcp/dhcp-dsc.c
apps/shell/shell-dsc.

apps/telnet/telnet-dsc.c
apps/telnetd/telnetd-dsc.c
apps/netconf/netconf-dsc.c
apps/directory/directory-dsc.c
pps/calc/calc-dsc.c
- Modify an extern type to a real declaration, which is static
to prevent a compile error.
core/net/mac/xmac.c
- Variables cannot be defined in a head of block on sdcc.
core/ctk/ctk.h
core/ctk/ctk.c
apps/program-handler/program-handler.c
- If CTK_CONF_ICONS is diabled, the whole icon-related code is disabled.
Makefile.include
- Add a set of configuration for an assembler.
- $(CLEAN) variable is introduced for customized cleanup.
apps/process-list/process-list.c
- PROCESSLIST_CONF_HEIGHT is introduced to address smaller screen size.
core/lib/ctk-filedialog.c
- FILES_CONF_HEIGHT is introduced to address smaller screen size.
- "register" keyword in a signature cannot be used in sdcc,
CC_REGISTER_ARG is used instead.
apps/vnc/vnc-viewer.c
- A cast is added to prevent a compile error.
- "register" keyword in a signature cannot be used in sdcc,
CC_REGISTER_ARG is used instead.
apps/webbrowser/webclient.c
- CC_CONF_INC_CAST_POINTER is introduced, a workaround of a kind
of sdcc bug for an increment.
core/loader/elfloader.c
- A cast is added to prevent a compile error.
core/net/rime/rimeaddr.c
- An initialization is added to prevent a compile error.
core/net/rime/rudolph0.c
- NULL is changed to 0, because NULL causes a compile error.
core/net/rime/route-discovery.c
- Add an argument to match the definition of nf_callbacks.
cpu/z80/strcasecmp.h
cpu/z80/strcasecmp.c
cpu/z80/contiki-sdcc-conf.h
cpu/z80/mtarch.c
cpu/z80/mtarch.h
cpu/z80/Makefile.z80
- New files to make compilation availble on sdcc.
- Added support for multithreading.
Now tcpip_output() is a function pointer that is supposed to be set via the macro tcpip_set_outputfunc(). Packet drivers do so on process startup.
Thus if there are several packet drivers in a Contiki system the one started last is the one actually used. This behaviour is especially useful for the 'IP forwarding' "meta" packet driver.
