Actually, I'm more interested in having a fix for the underlying
problem -- the Makefile.am's that have the non-portable feature -- than
just saying "use gmake". Part of automake's job is have this work
with all makes. I've apparently let some non-portable rule get into
one or more Makefile.am's.
I'd appreciate your help in identifying exactly what's screwed up when
building with BSD make.

Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. I know there are
other BSD users on the list. I'd like to have GNU Radio building
cleanly on all the variants.
