GNU Make *is* ported to 16-bit code, see the gnuish directory on SimTel.

However, I'm not sure this is a useful approach: the gnuish port doesn't 
support all the features that you get for free in the DJGPP version, due
to library features, like long command lines.  So some (many?) Makefiles 
might not work.

More importantly, it is not clear to me that this is a DJGPP-only 
problem: it might well be that running DJGPP programs, nested or not 
nested, from a 16-bit Make will cause crashes as well.  Somebody(tm)
has to test that.
