I've discovered that Mac OS still has a FreeBSD make with which I can
reproduce this.  So I am working with Martin on a patch for the next
Matrix update.

Meanwhile, if there is an issue with building R-devel with GNU make
under FreeBSD (e.g.

env MAKE=gmake ./configure
env MAKE=gmake make
)

we would like to know what it is (see the inline comment in my first
reply).

This may be a bit late (I finally managed to update to the latest
stable FreeBSD release 7.1) but just to report that

builds fine with

# ./configure MAKE=gmake CC=gcc44 F77=gfortran44 FC=gfortran44
CXX=g++44 OBJC=gcc44 R_BROWSER=/usr/local/bin/firefox3
# gmake

and passes

# gmake check

the development version of gcc44 is
# gcc44 -v
