Yes.  Anyway, typically when people say "gmake" they mean GNU make.

On most OS's (except for Linux of course) the vendor supplies a "make"
program.  Often people don't want to install GNU make under its default
name of "make", since they want to be able to easily run both the vendor
make and GNU make, so the install it as "gmake" instead.
