Not exactly: the build instructions use 'make' instead of 'gmake'.

Probably. And this might be required for correctness too, because I've just
realized that the 3rd line somehow conflicts with the configure instructions
for sparc64-sun-solaris2. However, I think we should still insist on GNU
make vs Sun make.
Would you mind working out the details with Phil, as he kindly proposed? I'm
not in position to produce any patch for the time being.
