a little digging on my own at the time made it seem like solaris make is really gmake, so between linux, solaris, and bsd a decent case was being made that most unix make variants to support the syntax. of course, that list of 3 was hardly exhaustive :)
Umm, on all the solaris systems I've used make is in fact not gmake, there are a number of solaris specific differences. This is at least true on solaris 2.6 through solaris 8. I'm not sure about 9 or 10.
