You don't. I can assure you that you need GNU make to build any part of Postgres. Perhaps what you're dealing with there is that "/usr/bin/make" is some particularly ancient release of GNU make that has most but not quite all of the features we depend on? "make -v" might prove informative. regards, tom lane
