Paul already found one non-standard call ( $() instead of `` - I'd have
missed this since the FreeBSD sh also happens to support this). Apart from
that, "make" needs to be "gmake" everywhere.

With this change I can make "sh ../smallbutuseful/archdir.sh" work.

archexe.sh doesn't like the pushd/popd. Maybe just enclose a big chunk in a
() block (meaning to spawn a subshell for it, which forget all the "cd"s
you do after it terminates).
