I would be happy to use it, if using it didn't import a ton of other
things that require POSIX tools AND an already-working make program.

I understand that this type of reuse makes things easier for the gnulib
folks, but for GNU make I'm not ready to drop support for platforms
that are not POSIX enough to run configure, and that don't already have
"make" available.  So gnulib modules that require them aren't available
to GNU make (at least, not without modifications).
