Now, anyone using gnustep-make must be using gnu-make, which supports the --version flag. So the question is why your system barfed? It must have been running some other make somehow.

The reason should be fairly obvious when you consider the offending line:

gs_cv_make_version=`make --version | head -1 | sed -e 's/^[^0-9]*//'`

Note that "make" is hard coded in there. That'll result in the shell looking for a program called "make". On non-GNU systems, this is not GNU make.

What you want is:

gs_cv_make_version=`$(MAKE) --version | head -1 | sed -e 's/^[^0-9]*//'`

And the MAKE variable will resolve to the appropriate command for GNU make.
