We do some funky shit with 'SAFE_MAKE' as part of the docs changes, but this should be portable. Judging by your paste, the problem is in test/javascript/run, and sure enough, there are some raw make calls. Looks like a longstanding issue. Are you able to experiment in this file? It should be possible to pick up $MAKE. If not, 'export' it manually from the calling Makefile.am. DM me if you need me to check this thread again tonight or pop on to a laptop.
