I use it heavily and think it's extremely underappreciated, so instead of reinventing it, I would like to build on it. But - trying to extend the old C codebase is daunting. I'd even be happy with a reduced featureset that avoids the exotic stuff that is either outdated or no longer useful. The core syntax of a Makefile is just so close to perfect.
