yes, using GNUism is never a good choice. Every step must be taken to
move away from the cancer that GNU is, infesting almost every aspect of
the modern UN*X system (core utilities, standard libraries, make, ...).

mk is nice, but there is just not enough "spread" of it to justify
using it. Everyone with a toolchain has a POSIX compliant make utility.
The problem with 9base/mk is that many people don't associate the two.
Maybe it would be wiser to separate mk from the rest and offer it as a
single package. Getting it packaged would be quite a bit of work - but
possible - and then it would be justified to create a hard dependency
on mk for different suckless tools.
With best regards
