By the way, I would have thought that it was obvious that make != gmake.
Considering that it is on OSX,
ls -al

as well as on linux,

no, it wasn't "obvious" at all.
The implication was that that this was being built on a FBSD machine, correct?
~ $ ls -al which make which gmake which gnumake

The interesting thing is that I checked the ports Makefile, and there is no directive to use gmake, so I am somewhat perplexed by your inability to build it. It might be a system specific problem and not something that affects other users. If I actually get the ambition, I'll try it myself tomorrow when I have more time.

Telling the truth to people who misunderstand you is generally promoting a falsehood, isn't it?
