Weird.  Make defininitely knows to look first in /usr/share/mk
if you don't use the -m flag.  (Per the source code for make.)

I would try 'ktrace make' and look at the output with kdump to
see where 'make' thinks it should be looking.

E.g. here is what I see:

   949 make     RET   stat 0
   949 make     CALL  open(0x8076a8c,0x4,0)
   949 make     NAMI  "/usr/share/mk"

I ran the ktrace as a user from my home directory (not that it should make any
difference).
