Does make -C work?

https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender says

[make] must be run from the Blender repository root directory

does this mean that make -C will not work?

Will work on *nix based systems, windows which has a small wrapper make.bat that doesn’t support the default make parameters.

The warning in the documentation about the source folder is there because people were running make help in the build folder and complaining it wasn’t working.
