Hmm... I think it would be now, but it's not guaranteed to remain that
way. The second operand of || may not do the same as the first in versions
(current or future) of make that understand -C. Also, written this way, it
makes it obvious it's a workaround until versions of FreeBSD with a make
that doesn't grok -C go away. (meaning 4.8 and below)
