This captures the intent to build with ninja from configure --ninja to be used in the Makefile.

Will it cause make test to use the ninja-built node? If so, this might be good for me, but I'm not sure if the impact on everyone else is excessive. fwiw, I never build with Make anymore. I run test.py directly, and make lint directly. Besides the issues in #25135, ninja is faster and gives a better progess indicator (in fairness, make doesn't even try to give progress indication).

Yes. make test delegates to make node or make node_g which are the targets I've patched.
BTW: this will use ninja iff configure was run with --ninja

Stray whitespace change?

No. I meant to better delineate the lines that generate config.mk.
Optimally I'd wrap this code into a function, but that will just conflict with #26725

That's a really important point. I'll give it a dry-run tomorrow (no time today)

The default is make, it seems. Can we get CI coverage for this? I assume this just needs a custom freestyle build with --use_ninja as CONFIG_FLAGS? (But does any of the machine have ninja? Or maybe the one that builds the V8 CI should have it?)

I'll think of a way to cover this without adding bloat to the CI matrix 🤔 ...

Perhaps the -jN flag, if it's present in MAKEFLAGS, should be copied into NINJA_ARGS? So that make -j2 ends up calling ninja -j2.

Added support via a JOBS env var.

FTR: By default ninja runs in multiproc mode so adding -j is used to change the default or limit the number of parallel processes.
Also make or even gmake do not readily expose the value that was passed to them.

Added $(filter -j%,$(MAKEFLAGS))

Worked for me when I tried it, seems pretty reasonable.

Can't thank you enough for this.

LGTM w/ @sam-github's concern taken care of.

IMO, If it doesn't work, those of using ninja will notice pretty quickly, I don't know that it needs ci coverage.
