Support for compilation under FreeBSD

The current trunk version of build-djgpp does not allow to build GCC 4.8.5 under FreeBSD 9-stable.
This patch seems to make it possible.
I am submitting it here so that you can review it and integrate it, if you wish.

The patch brings the following changes:

  • use gmake instead of make (that is: GNU Make instead of BSD Make);
  • use the standard Clang compiler instead of the standard GCC (by "standard" I mean that they are both available in the base distribution of FreeBSD);
  • remove the --verbose option from the patch invocations inside unpack-gcc.sh (BSD Patch does not support that option).

All the above only happens on FreeBSD systems (identified by the uname command).

I am not sure whether there are any ``cleaner'' ways to fix the problems. I can only tell that I could successfully build gcc 4.8.5 after applying that patch on my system:

$ uname
FreeBSD myhost 9.3-STABLE FreeBSD 9.3-STABLE #140 r293654M: Mon Jan 11 09:55:00 CET 2016     root@myhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

If you wish, I can prepare similar patches for the other scripts in the script directory. Before starting, I would like to hear if you have any remarks about this patch (code style etc).
I am of course open to your suggestions on this topic.

Ok, I integrated your patch to all versions in script/ directory in my latest commit, with some other minor modifications. I tested on FreeBSD 10.2-STABLE (Vagrant VM) and no problem. 😄
