the -o stuff is not in MAKEFLAGS), so that change broke the use of -o
and possibly quite a few more advanced flags to GNU make. No one

so.

Wouldn't it be better to remove the "recurse to get the Env etc." magic? My understanding is that ultimately we want to get rid of having to source Env.Host.sh by replacing it with a file included by gbuild.mk, not by sourcing it behind the scenes, right? Once we are there, toplevel make command line arguments should behave as expected. I see no need to break that in the meantime.
