They _are_ different.
Yes, I forgot there was an alias. See at the bottom of the message.

This is very interesting observation, could you expand on this?
Well, I don't want to make claims without basis, as it is based only
on my memories :).
I so completely switched to gmake during the winter that I even forgot
I have an alias.
I didn't succeeded to compile projects from my univ studies, but I
afraid I use all those gnu extensions. I _think_ I didn't succeeded to
compile the DEAL.II lib without gmake.
These are projects that don't use the "recursive make" paradigm, at
least not in
all places. They "-include" makefiles from lower hierarchies, but I
afraid gnu extension
sit there in every place. Not shure, though ...

Lots of software sources are configured with GNU autotools, which is why
a lot of third party software will only compile with GNU make. In the
case of dealii, not only are its sources configured with autotools, but
I looked at their docs and at http://www.dealii.org/developer/index.html
you can plainly see that they "use GNU make, version 3.78 or later".
I'm not sure where the confusion is ... but it seems like you think you
have to invoke GNU make under the moniker 'make'. But you don't, it's
just a Linux convention to have GNU make installed as 'make'.
