The reason should be fairly obvious when you consider the offending 
line:

Note that "make" is hard coded in there.  That'll result in the shell 
looking for a program called "make".  On non-GNU systems, this is not 
GNU make.

What you want is:

   gs_cv_make_version=`$(MAKE) --version | head -1 | sed -e 
's/^[^0-9]*//'`

And the MAKE variable will resolve to the appropriate command for GNU 
make.
