This is what I've done. But there is the BUILD_ARGS variable which can
add extra arguments to the default build. My question is related to
this: how to add custom arguments to custom builds?

BTW, I use the following construct:

build-foo:
	PATH="/opt/csw/gnu:$$PATH" $(MAKE) -C $(WORKSRC)
	$(MAKECOOKIE)

which, for me, is a little bit more readable, but that is a question of
taste...
