printf("Hello World\n");

I am setting up a software project and need some feedback.

I need to define global rules for makefiles and am confronted by two methods:

1) use the include facility and macros, (macros to provide position
   indepenence in the dir hierarchy).

2) rely on the fact that SunOS make(1) will read in default.mk if it exists
   in the current directory *and* use ln(1) to ensure everyone reads the
   same file.

Any responses will be appreciated.
