debugging failing build / additional make parameters

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi all,

I am still tring do debug whi I can't build gnustep-back on Solaris 9 
while it does build on 10!
I have a problem with missing includes or wrong order of includes with 
freetype and cairo.

One think I'd like to know if and what path is really used to build.

GNUstep make builds without issuing the actual compile command line.
E.g one sees only

Compiling xxxx....
Compiling xxxx....

one needs to run "make messages=yes" to see the actual commands (debug).
How can I pass this?
I thought

BUILD_ARGS += messages=yes

would so it, but it doesn't work... perhaps something in the receipe 
"breask" that? Or isn't BUILD_ARGS the variable I need to add options to 
make

To that I also have the curiosity if we can enable in mgar 
parallel-build. E.g. am extra BUILD arg could be -j$(CPU_NUM)
