"use 'make' to build your Parrot", without ever complaining that it wasn't
gnu make (and therefor going to fail). This is especially true for
Solaris, which even chokes on the := assignments.

That's helping for the problems on Solaris, thank you.
To fix the problem of this report, you'd also need to apply the patch I'm
attaching. Note that the rule in question is not even required, since
explicit rules for all files are generated. However for those versions of
make that accept dependencies on those rules, this creates a cyclic
dependency. As a result BSD make seems to prefer not to make anything
(although it doesn't fail either), where gmake seems to break/ignore the
cycle. Anyway, I think the dependency is bogus. Removing it fixes the
build on FreeBSD with native make.
