Sorry, I misread the chart. But I do think -F would be important as well
given that make employs vfork.

I ran with -cf. By my read there are millions of open() calls here:

Given the grand total of 11 open() system calls, I'm guessing you used
strace without the -f and -F options (noting that ISTR 4.2.1 reverts to use
of vfork)?
BTW timings on linux are more elegantly handled by prefixing the "time"
builtin. Wallclock-only can be gotten by forcing use of /usr/bin/tim
