Seems that this problem is caused by gmake 4

I installed gmake 3.81 from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.81.tar.gz

Then ran
python2 runtests.py -g /home/lizhenbo/src/make-3.81/make
And got
Summary:
                              gmake:                      pymake:                     
                              PASS                        PASS

As stated on irc, we don't care about those tests anymore.
