I don't know about 'automake' (which I guess would have its own
mailing list), but 'make' sets $(MAKE) (note uppercase): see
  5.7.1 How the MAKE Variable Works
in the 'make' manual. Here's a makefile to show variables
defined by 'make':

/tmp[0]$cat >make_variables.make <<'EOF'
.PHONY: all
all:
        @$(foreach z,$(.VARIABLES), echo $(z);)
EOF
