Answer 1
Current NUT codebase (since v2.8.0) is regularly tested with GNU, BSD and
Sun implementations of make
, so seeing failures in release snapshots
(or iterations that made it to the master branch) is very surprising.

Answer 2
Older NUT codebase (release tarballs) has some hidden dependencies on
GNU Make which show up while running make distcheck
. If you are running
make distcheck
or its variants, you will need to install GNU Make
(devel/gmake
in the ports tree), which is incidentally what the
official FreeBSD port of NUT does for all builds.
