This is about the same text as bug https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1653
was. Perhaps the resolution
of 1653  is sufficient to solve this one too?

Summary:Description of MAKEFLAGS has confusing cross
reference to word splitting
Description: 
The description of the MAKEFLAGS environment variable says:
> similar to a portion of the make utility command line
> ...
> as described in XBD Section 12.2
> ...
> shall not be subjected to the word expansions
> (see Section 2.6, ...)

These references are fairly broad, as XBD Section 12.2 describes all
utility syntax guideliines, of which only a few are relevant to this cross
reference.

As field splitting is one of the word expansions from Section 2.6, the
'shall not' would imply that no field splitting shall occur.

Instead of having these cross references, it seems to be simpler to just
specify that the fields shall be split using the default IFS, followed by
quote removal.
Desired Action: 
Re-check whether the cross references are helpful.

If they aren't, replace the cross references with more specific and
accurate text.
