Just $(MAKE), it looks like the second copy of make expands this variable
using some strange thing. Why if make is called with $(MAKE) expands with
forward slashes and if make is called with "make" expands it with forward
slashes? Is very strange. From where comes these forward slashes? argv[0]?
DJDIR?

But:
1) Make used a mixed stuff (2 back and one forward!)
2) Make expands this variable in a different way if:
a) The second copy was called by make using just make.
b) The second copy was called by make using $(MAKE)
