GNU make is quite portable: it can be built from the same source code on
virtually any UNIX system, including SysV-based as well as GNU/Linux and
the various BSDs, etc.  It also can be built on VMS, Amiga, DOS, and
various Windows environments.

The source code is available at the usual places.  There are some issues
with GNU make 3.80 on Windows; you will have better luck trying to build
the latest release candidate for GNU make 3.81, which can be found here:

    ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.81rc2.tar.gz

$(eval ...) is unquestionably a GNU make-specific feature.  I don't know
of any other implementation of make that has anything even close to it.
