TL/DR: I upgraded stuff and now I can't run "make" - wtf?

I just upgraded from Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.8 Mountain Lion, and then installed XCode 4 (formerly I had Developer/Applications/Xcode (3.something). XCode 4 installed through the App Store application to /Applications. Somewhere along the way, I can no longer run the "make" command. And I've tried looking in all the usual /bins but can't find a "make".

Anyone know how to get my "make" command back?

Upgrading Apple stuff always breaks something... (it also broke my "git" command but I got that one back)

You need to install the command line tools as described at installing "make" on Mac. They are not installed by default in Xcode 4.
