"which make" :-)

No, NetBSD calls it make, and installs it as /usr/bin/make...

However, it looks like your sysadmin replaced our make with gmake and 
renamed the stock make bmake.  IMO, that's a pretty lame policy, but 
whatever... :-)

(I.e. I usually install GNU make as "gmake", and I do so _only_ when I 
have a program that requires GNU make's features... I like to use a 
mostly-stock set of system utilities :-)
