I just did `which make` thinking it was some kind of symlink (ln -s) to gcc
or some sort of alias for gcc to use the "./Makefile" in ones current
directory, but nupe...

So my question is this broad one ~ Can Makefiles be thought of as
instantaneous little /etc/gcc.conf or ~/.gcc_config files?  That is, aren't
they often just special conglomerations of flags and paths and so forth?
