I'm convinced it's one of the two, but I haven't heard back from
bug-make(at)gnu(dot)org, yet. In any case, the VPATH/CPPFLAGS patch that's
coming up will stick an "override" in front of every C(PP)?FLAGS variable,
which is the right thing to do anyway.
(One might wonder why bother about this: it's because users might try to
run, e.g., "make all CFLAGS=-O99 -mfoo" etc., so you have to forcibly hold
on to the necessary CFLAGS as well. Yeah, I know, COPT -- but who's ever
heard of that?)
