I couldn't see it in that listing.

Such a file was reported absent!

So I did as follows.

{

make "CC := $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc
                         
                         PROGS := mei-amt-check
                         
                         all: $(PROGS)
                         
                         clean:
                         rm -fr $(PROGS)"
}

Yielding the following error.

{
$(...) is not supported. In fish, please use '(CROSS_COMPILE)'.
fish: make "CC := $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc
}
