Here is my scenario:

I'm setting up the source tree and learning make on BSD.  Once I'm
comfortable with the build process, I have to move the code to a RH Linux
box.  I would like the makefiles to run with as little modification as
possible, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

: I don't use gmake if I can avoid it.  Someone else should chime in
: with gmake help, if they want.

Someone commented that pmake or bsd make doesn't run well under Solaris, so
they use gmake with a dumbed-down makefile.  I think that's what I need to
do.
