It works now.  The best answer I received via e-mail (so far) came
from Paul D. Smith ([e-mail]), who said he was using
a command line of

    make -k "defines=-DPOSIX -D_POSIX_SOURCE -DPORTAR=1 -D_BSD_SOURCE" \
        CC=gcc LOADLIBES=-lelf

and also mentioned that load averaging didn't work.  (I wasn't trying
to use it anyway, at least while trying to get gmake to run at all.)

Paul also mentioned that GNU make and many other GNU products are
available pre-compiled on the GNU Toolset Tape, distributed by DG
for "a 'reasonable fee.'"

I should also mention that, due to an incompatibility between an
old FORTRAN compiler and most of the rest of the default development
system environment, I was having my .cshrc file set the environment
variable TARGET_BINARY_INTERFACE to "m88kdguxcoff"; I don't
recommend that you do this, especially with "LOADLIBES=-lelf".  :-)

Many thanks to
