Unfortunately, this kind of wrapper doesn't work particularly well. If
the user runs something similar to:
make -j2 all install
then the wrapper makefile will happily fork off two independent make
instances in parallel: one running "gmake all" and one running "gmake
install". The result will probably be catastrophic.
Sigh, so very true. Adding ".NOTPARALLEL:" could fix this issue though.
Assuming that it is portable enough ...
At any case, the wrapper would be just a convenience for the most
common cases, like:
./configure && make -j4 check && make install
It doesn't have to work in all (or even most) scenarios.
This problem (use of wrong 'make') does not impact Automake-NG at all
and it does not seem wise to create a complex solution for a problem
which is seldom encountered and typically benign.
