Frana-C's makefiles use GNU make extensions. In this respect, it makes
sense to check for GNU make.
You could also use set the MAKE variable on the CLI before calling
configure (eg MAKE=gmake ./configure).

Thanks for all the patches (maybe you could have use Frama-C's BTS at
http://bts.frama-c.com).

Actually, the configuration issues (due to the use of == instead of =)
you are dealing with are already fixed in the the svn tree.
It is rather uncanny that only FreeBSD's default sh caught the use of
non-posix test extensions (this is okay with debian's dash or
OpenBSD's sh)

Again thanks for your diffs.

Cheers,
