Humm... I always thought bootstrapped platforms never used the system make,
but instead they used our own bmake to build everything.  But as it seems
from this change to unzip (and AFAICS in our .mk files), this is false.
The problem here might be because unzip's Makefile calls make sometimes as
'make', not $(MAKE).

If we are not using bmake, I think we should link bmake into TOOLS_DIR/bin/make
unconditionally (well, except when gmake is to be used).  This could make
packages behave in a deterministic way, because the make utility could be
always the same across systems.

Cheers
