Answer 1

Current NUT codebase (since v2.8.0) is regularly tested with GNU, BSD and Sun implementations of `make`, so seeing failures in release snapshots (or iterations that made it to the master branch) is very surprising. Please raise an issue on GitHub.

Answer 2

Older NUT codebase (release tarballs) has some hidden dependencies on GNU Make which show up while running `make distcheck`. If you are running `make distcheck` or its variants, you will need to install GNU Make (`devel/gmake` in the ports tree), which is incidentally what the official FreeBSD port of NUT does for all builds.
