From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:
Make
The {Unix} tool to automate the
recompilation, linking etc. of programs, taking account of the
interdependencies of {modules} and their modification times.
Make reads instructions from a "makefile" which specifies a
set of targets to be built, the files they depend on and the
commands to execute in order to produce them.
Most {C} systems come with a make. There is also one produce
by {GNU}.

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:
MAKER. This term is applied to one who makes a promissory note and promises
to pay it when due. He who makes a bill of exchange is called the drawer,
and frequently in common parlance and in books of Reports we find the word
drawer inaccurately applied to the maker of a promissory note. See
Promissory note.
