I agree with what Max says. Better than changing Fink's make package - 
as long as we do not really understand what is going on - might be to 
change the few packages that show this problem. If they don't have a 
dependency on the make package, for consistency reasons they should use 
/usr/bin/make instead of the generic "make". Not doing this is (at least 
in my case of cmake) simply a question of laziness of the maintainer and 
it would be trivial to fix.
