Hm. Can you try enforcing GNU make via something like

       export MAKE=/usr/bin/gmake

(or whererever it it stored on your system). At that point the implicit
variable $^ is used:

		$(SHLIB_CXXLD) -o $(USERLIB) $^ $(SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS) $(ALL_LIBS)

Here $^ expands to the list of all prerequisites, so you could try $OBJECTS
in its place.

| (line 34) on FreeBSD.

Neither do I on Linux -- it's a test: if available (on OS X) then use it. So
that is no issue.

| Unfortunately I am not a programmer, so I have almost no experience with

Unfortunately we do not have *BSD systems, so we have no ability to test
anything for them.

You may need to develop and test changes for the build system as we cannot do
that for you.
