<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>This is likely caused by this bugfix "[SV 54740] Ensure .SILE"T settings do not leak into sub-makes” mentioned in the release notes <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://lwn.net/Articles/810071/" rel="nofollow">https://lwn.net/Articles/810071/</a> which is bug <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54740" rel="nofollow">https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54740</a> on savannah. Turns out we would have wanted the buggy behaviour. Erik’s fix restores the behaviour that we want (ie propagation to sub-makes) though it might be better to add “--silent” at the beginning since MAKEFLAGS usually looks this:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>s -j2 --jobserver-auth=3,4 -- FOO=bar
</pre></div>
<p>in a sub-make from a <code>.SILENT</code> make with <code>-j2</code> and <code>FOO=bar</code> passed on the command line.</p>
