Since they require GNUmake they should simply not run on your system.
Could you run

% make --version -v; echo $?

This command used to output

make: invalid option -- -
usage: make [-Beiknqrstv] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-E variable] [-f makefile]
            [-I directory] [-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-V variable]
            [variable=value] [target ...]

with former FreeBSD versions.  Apparently it no longer fails in
the traces you sent.  Perhaps we should change tests/defs.in to
use `$MAKE --version -v | grep GNU' instead.

 Mark> lex3.test
 Mark> yacc6.test

I can reproduce these two under Linux using FreeBSD make.
