Are you SURE you need BSD Make?
    If so why?

Secondly,.... it is available from
http://www.crufty.net/help/sjg/bmake.html
    Very simple install instructions on that page too.

Is there any make utility compatible with AIX?  Could you please give us

Yes LOTS,... bmake/nmake/gnu make/etc. etc. etc.
    All Make commands are not made alike.... you need to use the one that
suits the syntax of the makefile in question.

Judging from the Q that was asked... if the software you want to compile is
OpenSource look into NetBSD's Pkgsrc system....
