Borland had their own version of make, and from what I remember (from my own 
80186 days) it was pretty restricted even compared to standard un*x version 
of make back then. It wouldn't have a snowflake in hell's chance of running a 
makefile written for GNU make. So OP isn't going to be able to use Borland C+
+ Builder as such, only the compiler component (invoked from GNU make).
