this version does not compile cleanly at least on HP-UX, AIX, AXP OSF1 and FreeBSD
because sometimes the native "make" will fail for sophisticated makefiles.
they all break with messages similar to this one

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd pdftexdir && make pdftosrc.o
Make: Unknown flag argument  .  Stop.
gmake[2]: *** [pdftexdir/pdftosrc.o] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `teTeX-bin-2.0-rc1/ARENA/texk/web2c'
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `teTeX-bin-2.0-rc1/ARENA/texk'
gmake: *** [all] Error 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

because it's calling make instead of $(MAKE) (which is gmake).

that specific bug comes from web2c/pdftexdir/pdftex.mk (see diff below).
I've grepped around a bit and found a few more locations where
make is used instead of $(MAKE) -- maybe there are even more ?!

here is my patch which seems to work fine for me:
