You'll have to excuse my ignorance (and my curious mind...), but I can't 
seem to find a straight answer to this. I know linux uses gmake, and 
gmake is installed via ports on FreeBSD, but does that mean gmake will 
only create linux binaries using the abi compatibility?

Is it possible to translate the Makefile to use make instead and build 
as a native binary instead?
