If you're using GNU make (which you appear to be, based on that version
string), here's the easiest way to do it:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/local/bin/gmake
$ gmake

Joerg also shipped a wrapper script called "Gmake" in the top level
directory of the cdrtools source tree, so I suppose you could try
running

$ ./Gmake

instead, but having the gmake symlink in /usr/local/bin will help you
in the long run with other programs that expect "gmake" to exist.
