Update: add and example fakefile that compiles the Linux kernel using "GNU Make".

The Featureless Make program can be used beyond its intended purpose.
This provides an example of such.

As this product is open-source, I love to emphasize the freedom others have to take this and do as they would.
Hack away!

+# This is intended to show that the functionality provided can go beyond the intended use, such as calling other build systems.
+#
+# This assumes make and everything necessary to compile the linux kernel is available.
+#
+# To use this example do the following:
+#   1) download and extract the linux source, such as linux-5.8.8.
+#   2) change into the extracted source (linux-5.8.8) directory.
+#   3) run using this, such as: "fake make -f /path/to/fakefile-example-bzip2".
