I'm not sure if I read the diff right. It replaces the equal sign '=' with '?=' right? I don't see that in the description of posix make. (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/make.html)
Also, if you look at section "Macros" for the phrase, "Macro definitions shall be taken from the following sources", it kinda looks like defining prefix (or any make macro) on the command line ought to replace the definition in the makefile anyhow. I'm pretty sure I've used this before with gnu-make. I think I've done it with the make on freebsd (pmake?) and on aix. Maybe this is broken on some implementations?
