I forgot to mention that these tests also fails using gmake so it's not related to gmake vs make.
Terribly sorry for the late reply, I missed this.
I don't see the point in pulling in and/or using gmake just for the sake of it. One could argue that other tools depends on gmake so it would be a futile and/or pointless effort but you have to start somewhere. Fwiw, my other PRs regarding this have been accepted so I think it's something that most seem to agree upon.
Using our make means more work for me because I would have to keep checking that it continues to work. Our make also parses make.conf again during build and users put all sorts of stuff in there that sometimes breaks things. I don't want to have to deal with support questions caused by that. Upstream uses gmake so we use gmake. It's less risky and therefore less work for me. Other port maintainers may have different opinions about this so please don't let this discourage you from removing gmake from other ports.
