Except when root, it is almost always wrong to have /usr/local/bin after
any system paths.

Depending on where and how you define that alias, sub-shells may or may
not see it.  It is generally a bad idea to rely on aliases for anything
but interactive work.

Not if EMACS is defined with an absolute path in local.mk.  Also, emacs
should actually be a link to emacs-maj.min (where maj.min denotes Emacs'
version), so if you want to use a specific Emacs rather than the
default, you should again define this in local.mk.
