GNU Make ends up invoking "make"

[tom_honermann]

Hello!  I'm running GNU Make 3.79.1 on AIX 4.3.3 and am running into the
following problem:

GNU Make is on disk as "gmake".
When "gmake" gets invoked for a makefile it turns around and does an exec
of "make"
gmake -d shows it invoking "make" while trying to do a "remake"  (See
output below)

The Makefiles being used never invoke make except via "$(MAKE)"

I inserted a "make" shell script which does nothing but print "Wrong make
invoked!!!"  (See below) and sleep for 10 seconds to verify this was coming
from gmake.

>From a shell prompt, I don't get the above behavior.  When gmake is invoked
from a shell script I do.  The shell script sets MAKE="gmake -d".

I don't have an easily reproducable set of scripts to demonstrate this.
I'll work on getting that together.
