On my system (Gentoo), `gmake` is a symlink to `make`.
```
$ ls -l `which make`
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Nov 12 19:29 /usr/bin/make -> gmake
```

I'd be willing to bet that the version of the code before this patch (which preferred `make`) would fail on a linux system (if it even exists) where `make` is *NOT* "GNU make" .


(In other words, I agree with you :) )
