I tried to over-ride the MAKE (and MAKE_COMMAND) variable from the 
command line, which fixed this specific problem, but I'm left with 
another problem.  Even if you override MAKE and MAKE_COMMAND, you still 
get an error:

$ chroot . usr/bin/make.exe -Rr all MAKE=/usr/bin/make.exe 
MAKE_COMMAND=/usr/bin/make.exe
makefile:4: m.mk: No such file or directory
echo t > m.mk
make: //usr/bin/make: Command not found

You can specify "chroot . /usr/bin/make.exe ..." and it will work, but 
it should also work without that leading slash.


--makefile--
all:
	echo ${MAKE}

include m.mk

m.mk:
	echo t > m.mk
