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