I was surprised this did not go in. I had misgivings about a setup where you tell the software to do one thing, and it does something completely different. It also added a maintenance headache for the "synthetic" top-level Makefile, since every target in the real Makefile would have to be replicated (and maintained - for ever). It's far easier to just tell the user to build elsewhere.
