I'm not aware of a make implementation that inherits flags
to child invocations using a different variable.
Sun make, gnu make and bsd make all support it.

MAKEFLAGS is part of at least POSIX-2001 (SUSv3), probably
even older ones (-2001 just happens to be the oldest one
that I kept on my hard disk; I expect everyone to have
arrived in this century by now).

Best regards
