Apple hosts the source code on http://opensource.apple.com/ so it's a 
matter of finding what you need and downloading it. GNU make ships with 
Apple's Xcode, so choose the relevant Xcode version, then search make in 
the list of available projects.

I don't know what Xcode version Keith is using, but I'm guessing it's a 
fairly recent one considering uname says he's running Mac OS X 10.8.4. I 
wouldn't be surprised at all if the make that comes with it is patched 
by Apple. Even their most recent Xcode versions are still shipping with 
a make that identifies itself as 3.81; a version that is more than seven 
years old now! Surely they got a few bug reports too in the past few 
years and applied some patches :)
