You should probably make those: $(MAKE) $(MAKEFLAGS) If $(MAKEFLAGS) is empty
(as it is in your test case), you end up executing "make -" which does not
seem to have any defined behaviour (as in, the - argument is not descibed
anywhere as being valid). I don't think it really ought to make any
difference, but I truly do not know for sure :)
