Re: [VM] configure problem with 8.20b

[Mark Diekhans]

freebsd installed gnu make as the command gmake.  So just type
gmake rather than make.  The $(MAKE) variable in makefile
contains the actually command name, so the same make program is
used for recursive makes.

I did submit a patch that I think will make this work on
FreeBSD, although I can only test it on Mac with the bsdmake
command installed.

Patch is attached, however it is probably easiest to type gmake ;-)
