In the process I found out that it the last patch by joerg and
asmodai may not be correct.  Make was doing the right thing.
The problem is we are running out of argv+env space again.
The patch removed the propigation of the MAKEFLAGS variable
through the envionment.  So it did not get mangled when we
ran out of space.
The patch doesn't fix all problems, but it still helps. The problem
is that make doesn't unquote MAKEFLAGS at all, which breaks it horrible.

Yea, you are right. After inserting more debug statments, I see it is
not just a space issue.  I will keep looking into this problem.
