He's correct; that is not a GNU make error message.

Too bad that this tool requires GNU make, though; GNU standards specify
that packages should work with any standard version of tools.

You'll have to build and install it.  GNU make's makefile doesn't
require GNU make, so you should be able to build it with your make.
Also, GNU make comes with a shell script to build itself, for when you
don't have any make at all.

The latest version of the source is here:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.79.1.tar.gz

(all GNU tools are found under ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/)
