I've been using "make" since the PWB days, and this is news...  The 
trouble is, one would have to suspect that this is yet another variant 
before looking for specific documentation (and I thought "gmake" was bad 
enough).

At least my Makefiles and shell scripts will work anywhere; I don't make
use of local "features".
