Thanks for your interest in elftoolchain!

Various components of elftoolchain originated in FreeBSD and have used
BSD make from the beginning.  That is, it's built using a BSD make for
the same reason that much software originating in the GNU/Linux
community uses GNU make.

If your goal is just to build elftoolchain installing a bmake or pmake
package should be straightforward.

Best,
