This attitude is not likely to inspire many people to go above and
beyond the call of duty to help you. If most of the people here are
running Linux, then what would you expect to be better supported?
If you want it fixed, then you ask, and it'll likely get fixed. Only
if the people you're trying to work with demonstrate a decided
animosity toward non-Linux systems would I feel you'd be justified to
adopt this attitude..
The only way you can find out how other systems do things is by people
pointing that out. In fact, in this case, it's not a "Linux" issue at
all since I've had problems with this myself, and I run nothing by
Linux here. I ran into this issue because now and then I run
development versions of guile installed into /usr/local/opt/guile
which is arguably even more demanding than the
/usr/local/{bin,lib,...} install.

These are just oversights. No one is going out of their way to make
your life difficult. All you had to say was "The make files use make
where they should probably be using ${MAKE}. Here's a patch to
correct the problem."
