I’m out of my depth. Five years ago I could hold make’s two-phase processing in 
my head, but now reasoning about global variables is beyond me.

Let alone mutating meta-global variables across makefiles - I generally try to 
reduce the scope of variables and pass them explicitly with function calls or a 
`$(MAKE) foo VAR=bar` in a subshell call.
