Its likely the following will work.

'make -f gmakefile -j 8'

However the following is likely to fail

'gmake -f gmakefile -j 8'

configure is picking up gmake - so 'make all' is failing because of it.
[as its internally doing "gmake -f gmakefile - j 8"]
And the workarround would be to use:

configure --with-make=make ....
