It seems as if your project "freebayes" requires a newer version of gnu
make than you have installed. You can check which version of gnu make you
have with:

gmake --version

Example of output:

gmake --version
GNU Make 4.1
Built for x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu
Copyright (C) 1988-2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later

In the above example I have Gnu Make version 4.1.

According to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2016-05/msg00013.html it
seems as if the --jobserver-auth option was introduced with version 4.2 of
Gnu Make.

So you will need to update your installed version of Gnu Make or adjust
the build scripts to comply with your older version.
