You are running GNU make instead of BSD make. GNU make is installed as 'gmake'
on BSD systems because there are fundamental differences in the syntax between
the two.

Try running '/usr/bin/make buildworld'. If that still fails your installation
of BSD make is broken. Do the following to repair your make:

# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/make
# cc -o make -I . *.c lst.lib/*.c
# install -m 755 make /usr/bin/make

If /usr/bin/make works on the other hand, see if there are aliases setup that
alias 'gmake' as 'make', and remove those.

HTH,
