The latest monetdb-install.sh script uses gmake when available (such as
on FreeBSD and Solaris).

Indeed, gcc on FreeBSD appears to choke on this.  I fixed it in the
current branch (sorry, my FreeBSD machine is too slow and I just did
current initially).

There are occurences of
  #if @1
and
  #if [EMAIL PROTECTED]
in the M4, M5 and XQuery sources.  I suspect they will fail in the same
way (i.e. the guard may do something else than expected), but I am not
sure what the appropriate fix there is.

This question already has been answered by Stefan.
