Comment (by RJVB):

 Replying to [comment:4 mascguy]:

 > Theoretically, a port could depend on `gmake` for some other purpose,
 without overriding `build.cmd` to use it. I can't imagine a need for such
 a scenario, apart from a rare case. But in the interest of eliminating any
 possible ambiguity or side-effects, I'd prefer a formal option.

 My suggestion would circumnvent any such ambiguity, by simply using the
 newest/most capable make command. Base could do this too btw, and note
 that this is also what happens when users put a symlink `make ->
 $prefix/bin/gmake` somewhere ahead in the $PATH that build commands see.
