Probably --- but not for DJGPP, as it is.

It would probably help if you could give some more details.  Like the
name of the package, and what compiler it's supposed to be used with,
originally.

Not necessarily.  But probably it's not meant for DJGPP.  Makefiles,
if not very carefully written, are about the most unportable thing you
can find in a typical Unix source code.  

Some people have installed GNU make on their Unix boxes, even they
they don't have any other GNU software, simply for that reason: using
GNU make on all platforms is about the only way to gain compatible
access to a reasonable set of features across many different
platforms.
