Maintaining PATH while running make with sudo

It seems make is setting a default PATH variable when I run with sudo.
If I run a root shell with 'sudo -s' followed by 'echo $PATH', I see the
correct PATH.  However, while in the root shell if I run the simple
Makefile:


----Makefile----

all:
        @echo $(PATH)

----------------

it will not give me the same as the result from the echo.


I am running Make 3.81, sudo 1.6.9p10, on Ubuntu 2.6.24-25-server
kernel. 

Thanks.
