It's strange that you have 2 different versions of one product from one vendor. It's a problem that is waiting to happen

There shouldn't be too many differences in the output of the different versions. But you might want to clean that up so that you have a single version on your system. Use 'pkginfo | grep -i make' to get the names of both the packages, and then pkgrm the version that is not required.

Solaris always includes the Sun (CCS) make, it is used among other things to build NIS maps. Howerver it does not include c or c++ compilers.

gcc and g++ or rather makefiles designed to work with them tend to work a lot better with gmake than solaris make, so most people who use gcc also install some or all of the other components of the gnu build chain.
