There is more than alternative. "We" could:

1. add gmake features to "our" make, but it is worth the work for a 
single program?
2. add gmake to the standard tools, since it is anyhow requested as soon 
as one begins to build packages;
3. make this addition conditional, let's say according to some variable 
value, so that people who do not want gmake could still do without;
4. Build gmake together with gcc4 during the build process, then clean 
it out when gcc is done.
5. Etc.
