On FreeBSD, make is make and tar is tar.

Problems arise when something has been written for GNU make or GNU tar. 
  Those utilities go by gmake and gtar when installed on FreeBSD 
systems.  I don't know if there is a standard environment option.  I'd 
rather the ability to use the following commandline:

build/exportmt.pl --local --pack=MTOS  --make=gmake --tar=gtar
