    Note that FreeBSD is not a supported platform (that is we have neither compiler nor tested Ice on it) so you may run into problems.

    In this case it looks like for whatever reason uname is failing:
    UNAME			:= $(shell uname)

#
# Platform specific definitions
#
include	 $(top_srcdir)/config/Make.rules.$(UNAME)

    Once you work out what the source of the problem Make.rules.FreeBSD should be included (assuming that uname reports "FreeBSD")

    Also note that the Ice makefiles are GNU make specific. It's been a long time since I've used FreeBSD, but I don't recall FreeBSD using GNU make as the default 'make'. Perhaps you are using the incorrect make tool?
