for TIMEFORMAT lead to the following:

If this variable is not set, Bash acts as if it had the value

$'\nreal\t%3lR\nuser\t%3lU\nsys\t%3lS'

So, I figured I could use:

  TIMEFORMAT='\nreal\t%1R'

You forgot the leading `$'.

I should have also said I tried that, but got this:

make -f time.mk show
echo -n "time{">time.out
TIMEFORMAT=\nreal\t%1R'
{ time sleep .22222 ; } 2>&1 | perl -pe "chomp;" >>time.out
echo "}time">>time.out
/bin/bash: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/bash: -c: line 4: syntax error: unexpected end of file
time.mk:24: recipe for target 'time' failed
make: *** [time] Error 1

Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Tue Jan  3 15:22:10

I've attached the complete makefile and hope that helps.
