>Description:

unset MAKE variable in configure environment for GNU configure breaks
tools/texinfo build when there is no make installed in the system:

  make  -f /www/src/NetBSD/src/tools/texinfo/../Makefile.gnuwrap  all-recursive
  nbmake: exec(make) failed (No such file or directory)

  *** Failed target:  all
  *** Failed command: make -f /www/src/NetBSD/src/tools/texinfo/../Makefile.gnuwrap all-recursive
  *** Error code 1

  Stop.
  nbmake: stopped in /www/src/obj/tools/texinfo/build

configure sets MAKE variable to 'make' if not already set and @SET_MAKE@
in texinfo's Makefile.in is replaced with:

  MAKE=make

in OBJDIR/tools/texinfo/build/Makefile (and subsequent directories).

>How-To-Repeat:

try to build -current (netbsd-2-0 and netbsd-1-6 not verified) on a Linux
box without make installed, see it failing in tools/texinfo.

>Fix:

i verified that tools build correctly on Linux and NetBSD-current host
with this patch:
