I've seen something similar on Irix.  I think it's a problem with
conflicting or not correctly set MAKE variables.  So far, I've only seen
this when USE_GMAKE was set in the package.  Somehow the MAKE variable
set by bmake doesn't (or does, whatever is the right behaviour as the
case may be) override gmake's setting or some such.
