My 'make' does not support this feature.  I have been told the newest ones
should.
The info documentation on 'make' (that I have) does not mention
'define'/'endef', however.  Thus, I was confused.

It would certainly take time and waste bandwidth to download various versions
of 'make', install them and test them.

In comparison, anyone who knew that this feature existed would waste about 10
seconds to click 'Reply' (or 'Reply All' if they saw fit) and type 'yes'.

Thank you for your answer.
