Why should they?
Sun Make implementes features that GNU make is missing.
GNU make did copy a lot of advanced features from Sun make but not
all of them.
An important feature of the Sun make program is that it is able to
interact with the Sun linker and this way create a 100% correct set of makefiles
that also include auto-dependencies against libraries that have been linked
to a program. If you use Sun make and the Sun linker, a "make all" on a
program will relink it in case that any of the used libraries has been updated
before.

Why do you like to do this on Linux anyway?
