Actually, I'm more interested in having a fix for the underlying problem -- the Makefile.am's that have the non-portable feature -- than just saying "use gmake". Part of automake's job is have this work with all makes. I've apparently let some non-portable rule get into one or more Makefile.am's.

I'd like to have GNU Radio building cleanly on all the variants.
