I have this installed:

root@fireball / # equery list make
  * Searching for make ...
[IP-] [  ] sys-devel/make-3.82:0
root@fireball / #

It has been installed a while according to this:

Sun May 29 21:31:04 2011 >>> sys-devel/make-3.82

I have upgraded about all of KDE and several others since then and I 
don't recall having this trouble.  I'm on amd64 if it matters.  Also, 
there is a more recent update too.  I saw a -r1 in the list.  You try it?

Everyone can tell you, if something is broke, I usually find it.  ;-)
