Comment (by ryandesign):

 I don't remember when Mac OS X switched from BSD make to GNU make as
 default, or if it was always GNU by default. I think even Tiger's make is
 GNU make, and that as old as we care about in MacPorts.

 Still, I don't think it should be considered an error for ports to use
 `build.type gnu` nor do I think the fix should be to remove that from the
 ports that use it. That's a documented option that's supposed to ensure
 GNU make is used. If that option isn't working on Linux, why not fix it so
 that it does?
