I'm not sure what you're referring to here. The autotools make an
attempt to be portable to many different environments, and quite often
succeed.  Of course, this also depends on the work of those using
autotools.  There are some issues, like those discussed in the
autoconf manual, and some of those are related to the way that
parallelism is handled in different make implementations.  But I would
prefer to avoid adding a dependency on devel/gmake.  Maybe you have
looked into this, and found the particular Makefile constructs that
are preventing parallel builds with the system make in this instance?
