Good idea. I'll try to have something like this in after 0.99.0 is out
(currently in feature freeze).

No macro, and I would have my doubts whether you'd really want to test
for that (we've been working very hard not to require GNU make for
building R). But you could simply do
moutput=`make -v 2>&1 | grep GNU`
if test -n "${moutput}"; then
GMAKE=yes
else
GMAKE=no
