Now, anyone using gnustep-make must be using gnu-make, which

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.
I just found where the problem is coming from ... it's in
configure.ac/configure
Unfortunately, the MAKE variable does not exist here, so this fix
won't work.
Unless someone knows better, I think we need a test/code here to find
gnu-make on the system and use it.
Is there a standard way of doing that in autoconf?
