I think it would be a good idea to require GNU make, but I think that is

Since GCC already requires GNU Make, I don't think that it would
be a problem for us to require GNU Make as well.  IIRC, the reason
for not requiring GNU Make was for FreeBSD where it's not installed
by default? It doesn't seem like a strong argument to limit ourselves,
especially considering the fact that they should already know how to
handle this dependency because of GCC.

My 2Rp, here on my FreeBSD (amd64 to sparc64) targets I have to use gmake aka. GNU make 3.81 since a longer time. Also for the ports collection we have to use GNU make for both, gcc and gdb at least.

Gruss,
Andreas
