If the user's distro does not have packaged makemaker, or if the user chooses not to install it, then the build procedure of git can be told to avoid using it, which is what you did. So there is nothing to fix there.
If you are not going to tell git to avoid makemaker, in other words, if you want to use makemaker, then installing it before starting the build procedure would help, too. But that is outside the scope of git project.
Please do not top post.
