Yes, the MakeMaker tests rely on $Config{make} and $ENV{MAKE} to determine
what to run as make. The decision is made in t/lib/MakeMaker/Test/Utils.pm
in the make() subroutine if anyone wants to make it smarter. For example,
figure out if MMK/MMS set any environment variable which contain their name.
Most make utilities do this via MAKE but I guess not MMK/S.
Simplest way to work around this is to just set your MAKE environment
variable to MMK.
