If all the Makefiles, including the top-level one, are named the same,
you could try putting this into each Makefile.am (say via a configure
sub):
AM_MAKEFLAGS = -f Makefile.boot
All the names have to be the same because sometimes an
automake-generated Makefile will invoke $(MAKE) to run a different
local target, and that invocation will also use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
