No, it isn't. There may be errors in the Makefile. There may be
overrides in the environment and/or command line that may *not*
work as desired which you can't check by just looking at the Makefile.
And there are people like me who want to check wether a Makefile
correctly picks up CFLAGS, CC etc. if overridden. Like (in a port's
directory): DEBUG=-g make
