Yes. I thought MAKEFLAGS format a bit odd too.
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.
