Except that gnumake isn't in /usr/src. ;-)
All of the BSD's use bmake in their native builds of GCC (either with
purely custom Makefiles, or wrappers around the stock GCC ones).  So this
isn't an issue there.

So the only issue is building GCC from ports or the person building it by
hand having obtained the sources from a GNU site.  For those persons, I
do not see any reason why requiring a simple ``pkg_add -r gmake'' is
asking too much. :-)
