I think we've already given all the options.
The only thing that can be done within the makefile is to stop "hiding"
of $(MAKE) within the MULTIDO variable and instead bring $(MAKE) right
out into the rule, as has already been discussed. So instead of:
 MULTIDO = $(MAKE)
 ... : ...
 $(MULTIDO) ...
you'd have to avoid MULTIDO and write the makefile as:
 ... : ...
 $(MAKE) ...
Someone already mentioned that if you know you're using GNU make you can
fix this problem on the invocation by doing something like:
 $ make MULTIDO='+$(MAKE)'
