First, the make is always run as M-x compile.

In my case, the most likely outcome from M-x compile is
that I'll be correcting syntax errors.  Since I've run
M-x compile, M-x next-error becomes really useful.

So, no make from the command line for me.

I'm got a big fan of running under gdb.
If I did want to run under gdb a lot, I'd probably figure out
Emacs gdb.

Typically my make target is not just a compile but a compile
and test and check results.  No need to send myself
an email since the M-x compile clearly shows whether the
compile/test worked.
