Ø Using GNU Make 3.81 in macOS 10.12. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2006-04/msg00000.html suggests that was released over a decade ago. I imagine that's still what Apple's shipping but perhaps it's time for you to visit https://brew.sh/. I doubt the behavior's changed but people are sure to be more interested in your reports if you're running, say 4.2.1, as https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/make.rb would seem to offer.
Perhaps your problem is something to do with https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/MAKE-Variable.html. Hard to say when you haven't supplied an example Makefile, preferably a minimal one.
