More than likely it's just using the make utility that Perl was originally configured
with. You can see what that is by doing
$ perl -"Vmake"
So it's probably not the new MakeMaker that's assuming the wrong utility but rather
the Perl configuration itself that is wrong about your current environment. I'm
assuming you installed a pre-built Perl and are now adding extensions to it.
Switching the make utility on us after configuring Perl and before building extensions
is not a sequence of events we've taken any special steps to handle currently, and I'm
not sure it's really necessary since I don't think anything except the MakeMaker tests
will be likely to depend on $Config{make} being something that's currently available.
If you have the privs to tweak your Perl installation, you can probably get yourself
out of trouble by finding the line in perl_root:[lib]Config.pm that looks like
make='MMS'
and replacing MMS with MMK.
