$is_gnu will still give unix (on FreeBSD) in case `which make` is just
a symlink to /usr/local/bin/gmake.

I'd expect the -n option to avoid side effects. Perhaps the reason is
that the BSD make infrastructure is a lot different than GNU's and a
single Makefile may not carry enough information by itself to generate
good completion?
