So far, automake has not been using gmake, so why should it now start doing so?
Because gmake is all but ubiquitous, and has been so for a decade.The only exception I can think of is the BSDs, which still stubbornly stick to BSD make, apparently for political reasons. I think we'd see a change there PDQ if the autotools started requiring GNU make.
