The luatex build script uses the following.
I cannot fathom why this cannot also be part of TeXlive?
It's simply good practice.

# try to find gnu make; we may need it
MAKE=make;
if make -v 2>&1| grep "GNU Make" >/dev/null
then 
  echo "Your make is a GNU-make; I will use that"
elif gmake -v >/dev/null 2>&1
then
  MAKE=gmake;
  export MAKE;
  echo "You have a GNU-make installed as gmake; I will use that"
else
  echo "I can't find a GNU-make; I'll try to use make and hope that
works." echo "If it doesn't, please install GNU-make."
fi
