Yes, *BSD provides binary compatibility for Linux. I cannot judge for
OpenBSD or NetBSD but in case of FreeBSD it means you can run some
80-90% of Linux binaries under FreeBSD without problems.

I reran Build:
test ! -f Makefile || make clean
rm -rf Work
find . -name config.cache -print -exec rm -f {} \;
H=`pwd`
mkdir Work; cd Work
../configure --prefix=$H --datadir=$H &&
make world

I changed make to gmake in Build and reran. Same problem as before.

I found that the problem doesn't seem to be the target am--refresh. The
problem is that there is a cd .. && make am--refresh
After cd .. the current diretory is one level above utils. There is no
Makefile in utils/..
