Actually, it depends on the distro.  %{make} is not a standard macro
that comes with RPM, it's added by mandrake.  %{__make} should actually
be defined though (at least, it's existed as far back as RedHat 7.0),
but like Tanner said, it's considered internal.  If you're going to do
that, get rid of the macro altogether and just use "make".

Can you give some context as to what your actual error is?
