Running './configure':

creating src/epaths.h
make MAKEFILE_NAME=do-not-make-Makefile epaths-force
config.status: executing gdbinit commands

Running 'gmake bootstrap':

creating src/epaths.h
make MAKEFILE_NAME=do-not-make-Makefile epaths-force
make: don't know how to make w. Stop
config.status: executing gdbinit commands

Running 'gmake -d bootstrap':

creating src/epaths.h
make MAKEFILE_NAME=do-not-make-Makefile epaths-force
make: don't know how to make wd. Stop
config.status: executing gdbinit commands

I've change the line

${MAKE-make} MAKEFILE_NAME=do-not-make-Makefile epaths-force

to

${MAKE-make} -d A MAKEFILE_NAME=do-not-make-Makefile epaths-force

and diffed the debug.log:

Surprisingly FreeBSD's make can suddenly build/bootstrap Emacs trunk
again. When running 'make bootstrap' TARGETS is also correct.
