You currently need GNU make, though this requirement should eventually go
away. Sun make doesn't work.
If you have a Sun system you may have GNU make available as "gmake".
GNU make identifies itself with the -v or --version flag
wompom% gmake -v
GNU Make version 3.74, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

If you don't have GNU make you can get precompiled binaries that install
it /usr/local (so you need the system administrators cooperation) from
http://sun.freeware.com/
You can get the source code from any GNU mirror site and compile it
yourself. These are listed at
