Not sure how make would switch from printing the recursive make
invocation to printing GEN lines, since I've not touched the upstream
emacs Makefile.

Since this build is running in a clean chroot, it will install,
unattended, the latest available make version. (4.2.1)

Looking at the git changes for the archlinux make pkg, the last version
update was in 2018-11
