For FreeBSD, technically yes, it is correct; however, in GNU/Linux distros
GNU make is installed just as "make" (no `g' prefix).  That said, if you
want to be even more accurate, you could say:

   Quite often, a specific implementation is required, like GNU make
   (known in &os; as <command>gmake</command>), or legacy &os; make
   (<command>fmake</command>).
