Hi,

the top-level Makefile works with gmake (GNU) and bmake (BSD). Buildbot
CI tests that Python builds with standard compiler and make on FreeBSD.

The Makefile in Doc/ subdirectory is different. It is based on Sphinx's
Makefile template. It looks like Sphinx uses GNU make features that are
not supported by BSD make. Could you please open a bug at
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx ?
