Do we really want to start fixing MAKE not taking arguments?

As far as I'm aware, GNU make will always use MAKEFLAGS to allow passing LIBTOOL=

Also, this package doesn't seem to use libtool beyond a test in ./configure, it doesn't build libraries.

I'll just close this one unless the maintainer disagree, please use MAKEFLAGS.
