Weird.  Make defininitely knows to look first in /usr/share/mk
if you don't use the -m flag.  (Per the source code for make.)

I would try 'ktrace make' and look at the output with kdump to
see where 'make' thinks it should be looking.

E.g. here is what I see:

I ran the ktrace as a user from my home directory (not that it should make any
difference).
