I'm trying to to stop make using its built in rules. When I use make -R on the command line this works fine. However when I use MAKEFLAGS = R in the makefile it doesn't work. I use -d to see which rules are being checked.
You can't affect how make processes a makefile by setting MAKEFLAGS in the makefile itself. Currently, make sets all the built-in variables and rules before parsing the makefile, and that can be tested by the makefile itself, so changing it would create all sorts of problems.
