It doesn't appear to be GNU make:
nate@freebsd:~ $ make --version
nate@freebsd:~ $
From the FreeBSD make man page:
HISTORY
A make command appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX. This make implementation
is based on Adam de Boor's pmake program, which was written for Sprite at
Berkeley. It was designed to be a parallel distributed make running jobs
on different machines using a daemon called “customs”.
Historically the target/dependency FRC has been used to FoRCe rebuilding
(since the target/dependency does not exist ... unless someone creates an
FRC file).
Its man page is considerably different than the GNU make man page on my
Debian systems.
