That would mean the Makefile would differ from what's in the repository.
Why is that a problem?
It's normal to distribute files unmodified from a repository. That way, when people compare what they have to what is in the repository, they see just the changes they've made. This is what we've always done for the tz project. You're right that we could go the other way and distribute files that purposely differ from what's in the repository. However, I suspect this would cause more trouble than it cures, in the long run.
