It is easy to say "re-exec make with new MAKEFLAGS. How are you
going to reliably achieve this if it's not the only code in the
makefile? What if I say

make foo.o

Also it means that the whole makefile is going to be read before 
re-execution. This could be unacceptable like in my case. So the 
only viable solution I can see is by bloating every makefile with

if check

include rexec.make

else

#my code

endif

Set where? in environment? No, thank you! ;-)
