Details:

Hi,

It seems there is a problem with MAKEOVERRIDES that is reset when a recursive
make restarts itself (after rebuilding an included Makefile).

The following Makefile:
all:; @echo M1=${MAKEOVERRIDES}; rm -f test.mk; ${MAKE} fail
fail:; @echo M2=${MAKEOVERRIDES}; rm -f test.mk
-include test.mk
test.mk:; @touch $@

produces the following output when run with `make VAR=x`:
M1=VAR=x
M2=

Commenting out either the '-include' or the test.mk rule will output:
M1=VAR=x
M2=VAR=x

I'm not sure which is wrong, but it seems at least inconsistent.
