accessing make(1) arguments

[Paul Barton-Davis]

is there any way to access the arguments (not just the option flags)
passed to make ? I'm trying to do a heirarchical make, but need to be
able to pass along command line definitions of make macros. If anyone
has a better way to do this than accessing make's arguments, that
would do to.

As a shell script, it would be something like

foo: 
	make $(MAKEARGS) -f makefile.$(foo)

This is for a system where there are multiple makefiles for different
architectures, and I want to be able to say "make BLAH=BLETCH foo".

thanx
