I think it's very, very unwise to break this capability, personally.  I
would rather change your top-level makefile to use some different
variable that won't interfere with submakefiles (or vice versa).

Perhaps. But in this case I am trying to build a system from a number
of component parts taken from third parties. Does that mean before
writing my top-level makefile I have to audit all these third party
components for any variable that may clash? That doesn't seem very
scaleable.
