Another issue. I'm not sure if $(MAKE) is specific to gnu make or if it is

In general, I don't want to assume gnu. But I can certainly make this the 
default,
and provide a config variable to override.

I'll have another go at this when you use
$(MAKE) inside a makefile you are making sure
that the make command used is the same one that
you called on the initial makefile.

As other people mentioned it enable parallel make
to proceed nicely, and in the case where there is
several make command installed on the system
you avoid funny things happening. I have AIX
system which comes with its own posix make
command. Something like ntl probably require
gmake (GNU make), calling AIX make in the
middle is not a good idea.
