Thanks, I haven't tried this yet, but it looks promising!

For the record, right now I use a GNUmakefile (which takes precedence over
the Makefile) in the build directory containing e.g.

MAKEARGS = ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-

MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory

.PHONY: all $(MAKECMDGOALS)

all := $(filter-out all Makefile,$(MAKECMDGOALS))

all:
        $(MAKE) $(MAKEARGS) $(all) -f Makefile

Makefile:;

$(all) %/: all

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
