Aha, that's what I remembered. Why CPPFLAGS, though, and not CFLAGS?
What he could try is

        % make CFLAGS="..." MAKE='make CFLAGS="..."'

or replace CFLAGS by CPPFLAGS if that's the appropriate variable
to set. That should take care of the propagation. (sorry Michael,
I must have missed your message explaining the problem about
propagation).

Maybe that would work?
