[bug #46013] Command overrides added to MAKEOVERRIDES are lost if there were no overrides in the command line

[Vadim Zeitlin]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #46013 (project make):

It's disappointing that nothing seems to have happened to this bug since the
original report 3.5 years ago. I ran into the same problem and it cost me
quite a bit of time to understand what was going on (and would have costed
even more if I didn't find this bug by searching the web, thanks a lot Rici
for debugging this and writing it up!).

As Rici's report also included a trivial patch fixing the problem, what delays
applying it? Surely the fact that setting MAKEOVERRIDES  doesn't work unless
the variable is really defined on make command line is a bug and can't be
intentional, can it?
