I can't tell as the make discovery logic is now broken:

checking for gmake... /usr/sfw/bin/gmake
configure: Testing potential make at /usr/sfw/bin/gmake, found using 
gmake in PATH
configure: The path of FOUND_MAKE, which resolves as 
"/usr/sfw/bin/gmake", is not found.
configure: error: Cannot locate the the path of FOUND_MAKE

But gmake is there:

/usr/sfw/bin/gmake
  > gmake --version
GNU Make 3.81
