To be fair, for all the platforms supported by Valgrind[1] there's a GNU Make port available and assuming GNU Make (or any modern Make, fwiw) saves a lot of headaches. :) That said, I'm sure that excluding non-GNU Makes is not intentional here and it's only due to the fact that the macro has been developed on Linux by a Linux developer: interested parties are welcome to join the effort and provide patches to clean up GNUism.
