build: reduce the use of subshells in recursive make
Using make -C $* rather than (cd $* ; make) results in a small, but measurable improvement in build times where compilation is not the major component. eg. before - ~/go/src/pkg$ time make real 0m1.176s user 0m0.639s sys 0m0.399s after - ~/go/src/pkg$ time make real 0m0.916s user 0m0.571s sys 0m0.243s There are other places in the distribution src/make.common for example that could also benefit from this change.
