 Actually, the CFLAGS passed to the top-level $(MAKE) are overriding
 everything.  I suggest you either try to set -I for the whole build or
 change the upstream build to use its internal CFLAGS and still honor
 "user" (that's you) provided CFLAGS.  For an explanation on why the
 upstream build should honor CFLAGS but not use them, see:
 <http://sourceware.org/automake/automake.html#User-Variables>.
