 Uhm...

$ cat > test
CFLAGS = -O2 -fweird-gcc-option

all:
	@echo $(CFLAGS)
^D
$ CFLAGS="-O2 -fweirder-ccc-option" make -f test 
-O2 -fweird-gcc-option
$ CFLAGS="-O2 -fweirder-ccc-option" make -e -f test 
-O2 -fweirder-ccc-option

 obviously I missed your point... getting this sort of stuff to
 percolate down from debian/rules to arbitraly deep make calls is
 another thing, but presumably if you are setting CFLAGS in debian/rules
 you (the maintainer) already took care of that problem.

 -e is generally not the smartest thing to use, but since you are
 autobuilding, you can control what's in the environment.
