Thank you Hin-Tak Leung,
on Saturday, 31th, Brian Ripley and Martin Maechler showed me the use of
gmake without linking make against gmake:
setenv MAKE gmake
R CMD INSTALL Matrix_0.9975-11.tar.gz
unsetenv MAKE
R CMD INSTALL spdep_0.4-2.tar.gz
Everything works fine now. However, on my wishlist is a general way to
integrate "the search for gmake on systems like FreeBSD" in the
configure script of packages like Matrix ... ;-)
