What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set the proper environment variables
2. Retrieve the Go source tree from its repository
3. Change directory to ./src and run all.bash

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Although the only formally supported operating systems are listed as Linux
and OSX, I noticed that under the available options for $GOOS there was
nacl. Also knowing that OSX is at its roots a BSD system, I assumed that it
should build on another BSD system. I don't know if this is the only reason
it won't build, but I hope it isn't.

Comment 1 by nickthepreserver:

False alarm. I removed the ifdef/endif conditional line in Make.conf and Make.cmd and
it fixed this error.

Comment 2:

Glad you got it working.  There might be other
assumptions of GNU Make elsewhere in the system,
but if there is a simple way to root them out I'd
be interested to see it.
OpenBSD support will require more than just typing
gmake but might not be too bad--support for a new OS is
not too many lines of code, but you need to be comfortable
with low-level details.
Good luck.
Closing per note in comment.

Status changed to WontFix.
