I'll have to think about this; it seems like a lot of change for
something that very few people have ever asked for. Also, there are at
least two ways to share variable values with other instances of make
that I don't think have the issue you're having: one is to pass the
value via the command line instead of through the environment (where you
can use $(value ...)) and the other is to put it into a makefile that is
included by the different instances of make.
What do you think about those?
