I'm working on getting the FreeBSD chef-client omnibus builds into our
build system (jenkins on openstack) at Opscode.

I ran into this ncurses build error while trying to avoid the
/usr/local/bin/make -> gmake link on FreeBSD as it breaks the current
package provider which uses -V in BSD make (path_sanity puts
/usr/local/ in the front of the path).

It looks like GNU make runs a separate shell for each command so you
don't need to change back to the parent directory when you're doing
this:

cd foo && make all
cd bar && make all
cd zed && make all

BSD make will do the same thing by default, UNLESS you use -j, in
which case you need to use -Bj. From the man page:

     -B      Try to be backwards compatible by executing a single shell per
             command and by executing the commands to make the sources of a
             dependency line in sequence.  This is turned on by default unless
             -j is used.
