Our make is not broken (at least in this particular respect.)
There is not really any reason (apart from speed) for implementing
the shell commands, consequently it cannot be said to be broken
because it doesn't.
If you want it to support more builtins, something which I am not
as such against, while on the other hand I don't see any reason to
do it, the very least you can do is to submit a patch.
