This will be quite surprising -- I think any `make` call should avoid
touching the network and should allow working while offline as long as
one has set up things beforehand.

i.e. I think tools and dependencies in general should be fetched
and/or installed beforehand, and then yes, `make` may use them,
without touching the network (e.g. passing `--offline` or `--frozen`).

Cheers,
Miguel
