For the general pcomplete functionality to work, it's necessary for the
minibuffer's default-directory to be the same as that where the command
will be run. So, in the pcomplete/make function you *can* presume that
the default-directory is the one where `make` will run (and hence follow
`make`s rule about how to find the appropriate makefile).
Maybe the makefile you find won't be the one in the original make-mode
buffer, but if so (presumably) `make` itself will also use the other
makefile rather than one in the buffer.
