And that's the confusion on my end. You are stating that Marvin says

dumb question to find out how I should treat this situation regardless
of "what works". Its about understanding whether a makefile is an
executable or if make is just treating it as input and the executable
part is under the hood.
No.... I'm saying that Marvin first said that the Makefile should be +x
but later corrected himself to say that it was /usr/bin/make he was
thinking of and that certainly needs to be +x because it is the
executable....
[egreshko@f16-2 egreshko]$ file /usr/bin/make
/usr/bin/make: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, stripped
Again, "Makefile" or "makefile" need not be executable and in fact they
aren't meant to be executable.

My mis-read, thanks for setting me right on this.
I think I get it now
Thanks,
