Actually I was about to ask for the same. I don't care about 
compatibility
with the debugging code, but should really go all to stderr.

Ok it looks like other people agree.  I will send debugging output to 
stderr.  I will workup a patch.

Matt, can we slip the stable tag for make to CURRENT?  It turns out that
one of the patches that I imported from FreeBSD already does that.
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.
