4564     $system = join " ", $CPAN::Config->{'make'}, $CPAN::Config->{
+make_arg};
4565     if (system($system) == 0) {
4566          $CPAN::Frontend->myprint("  $system -- OK\n");
4567          $self->{'make'} = "YES";
4568     } else {
4569          $self->{writemakefile} ||= "YES";
4570          $self->{'make'} = "NO";
4571          $CPAN::Frontend->myprint("  $system -- NOT OK\n");
4572     }
