I don't really object to using GNU make; enough things require it
(probably emacs does too) that it's already installed. It's more that
"anyone using a makefile will use gnu make" isn't a valid assumption,
especially when the documentation says "type make".

FWIW, Achim's work on the makefile will be part of Org 7.9, expected to
be released in

update-org () {
(cd $HOME/SOFTWARE/EMACS/org-mode && git pull && make)
}

"make" is BSD make.
Today, I updated again and got:
make: "/home/gd
