Yes, that's cheating. The 'make' value in Config.pm is set to a plain
'make' on any system that runs perl5's Configure, and is not intended
to be useful after Configure is done running. See perldoc Config and look
up the 'make' entry.
You can usually get away with this cheat, but it definitely falls apart
sometimes when someone fires off a parallel make.
