Theoretically, automake should produce makefiles compatible with BSD 
make as long as you didn't introduce any GNU make'isms in your 
Makefile.am files. I don't know if the problem was an actual GNU 
make'ism, or a bug in BSD make, but I'm also not too worried about this 
(after all, both libvirt and qemu require GNU make as a conscious 
choice, so people on BSD systems are already used to using gmake rather 
than figuring out whether BSD make can do the job).
