This is how I do it.  This way you have unlimited variants, can
recall any of them, and can optionally set a default.  Also
it doesn't need a patch.

echo 'make PREFIX=/tmp PLATFORM=macosx "$@"'       > make.test
echo 'make PREFIX=/usr/local PLATFORM=macosx "$@"' > make.local
chmod +x make.test make.local
ln -s make.local make              # default make

./make.test
./make.test install
./make.test check
./make.test clean
./make uninstall
./make install
