Follow-up Comment #4, bug #63686 (project make): I cannot think of an objection to prefer a special target as of current state. At one time manipulating MAKEFLAGS internally was dicey but I gather that as of 4.4.1 it's safe. If so, it appears that the methodologies of "special target with potential --eval option" and "command-line option with potential embedded MAKEFLAGS setting" have converged. Both would allow what I want, which is for either the user or the makefile to impose its policy (with the user winning any disagreements).
