POSIX make is so feature starved as to be nearly useless - it does not even have conditionals, and of course it lacks advanced features like $(eval) and target local variables.
Since you can't write a non-trivial makefile without conditionals, restricting yourself to POSIX make will lead you down the path of despair of using something like GNU automake.
OTOH, GNU make works even on Windows (with jobserver too!), so why bother with inferior alternative implementations.
