Thanks everyone for the guidance.
I got the VERSION number as 5200408120
Does it mean it has make-3.81?
Also could someone provide guidance on
How to run code(C C++) written for Linux/Solaris
On FreeBSD machine without changing Makefiles?
Thanks & Regards,
Chetan

Even nicer:
make -V MAKE_VERSION
Not that the version really helps; there have been many additions to make
since 2004.
