Configure expects you to use the system's native 'make' program. That would be my first recommendation. If you really want to use GNU make, then tell Configure that with -Dmake=gnumake. Let us know if just using plain 'make' works. (You'll want to start with a fresh copy of the source to make sure no GNU make-isms have made it in.)
