Hi :) I think we are happy to look at patches to support non-GNU make but without follow-through from a reporter we aren't going to make efforts in this direction; too many other things to do :)
If you can track down the issue, please let us know and we'll see what we can do. Mark, Ludo, feel free to re-open if you feel like this is not the right way to go about things.
