GNU make-specific flags to allow your makefile to be portable to other
versions of make. GNU make never sets or modifies GNUMAKEFLAGS.
+* Behavior of MAKEFLAGS and MFLAGS is more rigorously defined. All simple
+ flags are grouped together in the first word of MAKEFLAGS. No options that
+ accept arguments appear there. If no simple flags are present MAKEFLAGS
+ begins with a space. MFLAGS never begins with "- ".
+
+* Setting the -r and -R options in MAKEFLAGS inside a makefile now works as
+ expected, removing all built-in rules and variables, respectively.
+
* On failure, the makefile name and linenumber of the recipe that failed are
shown.
