Yes. I thought MAKEFLAGS format a bit odd too.Greg, regarding the following, you might be interested (it is tangential) in the article I posted back in Sept (follows).
But it is in POSIX compliance I think: bunching options together is ok.
I have written a wrapper, 'xmake' that passes through all Gnu make options and adds a couple options of its own. I have makefile variables $(XMAKE) and $(XMAKEFLAGS) that behaves like $(MAKE) and $(MAKEFLAGS): $(XMAKE) calls xmake, passing along $MAKEFAGS and $XMAKEFLAGS.
My initial problem in trying to access MAKEFLAGS from the invoking shell environment was solved by doing everything in the makefile environment instead.
