Dear Arnaud, This is really a sage building issue so should be taken to sage-support or sage-devel.
As it happens I think that the change you suggest is already part of one of the patches at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3358 (the *ungnu* one), so if you want to get this change incorporated, the best thing to do would be to review all that patch.

This makes it difficult to build on > systems that don't come standard with it since you have to override > your path to include a renamed copy of gmake in it before the standard > make. > > The usual solution to this is to use ${MAKE} everywhere you call make > and this variable gets automagically set to the appropriate name to > call the make chosen by the user. Attached is a patch against the > Sage package sources to do just this.
