If the goal is to at the shell change what the make command does, perhaps
you could use aliases or shell functions?

alias make="make -j5"

function mymake()
{
   make -C /my/build/tree/is/usually/here
}

function myjmake()
{
   make -j $1 -C /my/build/tree/is/usually/here
}
myjmake 500 # lotsa cores
