Perhaps we could have another environment variable for mmake to specify
this behaviour :)

[Personally I would *not* want this to be the default.]

The build system certainly does examine a daunting number of environment
variables, but I find putting non-default options in the Mmakefile works

fine for me.  I can then still optionally override them with

$ mmake <target> EXTRA_MCFLAGS=-E    # or whatever
