Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Do you understand the analogy between
 1. When building some package containing C code, usually you run `make`
 which runs individual `gcc` commands, keeping in mind dependencies between
 files.
 2. When building Sage, usually you run `make` which runs individual `sage
 -i` commands, keeping in mind dependencies between packages.

 Having `sage -i` run `make` makes little sense, just like having `gcc` run
 `make` makes little sense.
