Mike, `make`, `gcc`, `javac`, `mvn`, and `bash` are bare-bones build tools I think it is more than reasonable to expect developers to have installed.
`make`, as well as `gcc` are required to build and test critical functionality of Accumulo: native maps. You can't run `mvn clean verify -Psunny` without testing native maps. Furthermore, we actually ship a small tarball and Makefile for users to build their own native maps locally according to their own CPU architecture, as part of our distribution tarball. In order to test that artifact that we ship, we need `make`. Running `make` on our shipped Makefile is effectively what we're doing for the integration tests anyway. So, I don't think this is a problem to address. However, if we were to address it, we'd have to categorize all our ITs to determine which ones require native maps and which don't. We could also separate out the native map library to its own repo on its own release schedule. However, I don't think it's worth it. It's trivial to install `make` on any modern operating system that we can expect contributors to be developing on. It's far more effort to cater to the edge case of a developer not having these installed than it is to simply provide instructions for installing them.
