(Not that this is actually the case, my > Makefiles are pretty simple.) Just about all `make' implementations in use today are mutually incompatible; pmake and gmake are no exceptions. If you want to write portable makefiles, you have to settle for the lowest common denominator, which is POSIX. Though it pains me to say it, if you just care about RedHat and FreeBSD, you might as well write your makefile for gmake and install gmake on FreeBSD from ports.
