Uppercasing program name is bogus, please don't do that.  Program
names should appear exactly as typed.  An alternate approach is
to use this idiom:

The
=2ENm
program

For make(1) that would be:

=2ESh NAME
=2ENm make
=2E..
=2ESh DESCRIPTION
The
=2ENm
program is designed to simplify ...

Also, the below change is incorrect:

:  .It Fl f Ar makefile
: -Specify a makefile to read instead of the default
: +Specify a
: +.Ar makefile
: +to read instead of the default
:  .Ql Pa makefile
:  and
:  .Ql Pa Makefile .

For example, the reader might want what does "make -f foo" means.
This now gives him:

-f foo
  Specify a "foo" to read instead of the default "makefile" and "Makefile".

IOW, we are talking about "a makefile" here, not "the makefile".

In this context this would be right:

: .It Fl f Ar makefile
: Specify that the
: .Ar makefile
: file should be read instead of the default
: .Ql Pa makefile
: and
: .Ql Pa Makefile .
