This is still the case. Documented in PLATFORMS, closing ticket.

Not quite. gmake is not required to build imcc. However, gmake *is*
required to build icu, but that dependency is not freebsd-specific, and
it's already documented in README.

October 2003 was a long time ago,maybe it builds fine now but back then
it didn't because make was picking the wrong make rule to build some
of the imcc files.

I don't think icu was even being built as part of parrot back then
was it? If icu becomes optional(which I think is part of the plan) then
I'll check if parrot will *now* build without icu using freebsd make.
