Exactly; I thought that was the job of

FOO ?= bar

and was quite surprised to find make(1) lets you override unconditional
variable assignments on the command line.

make(1) is netbsd-4, gmake is v3.81:

[hauke@pizza] /<1>tmp/maketest > cat Makefile
# Testing variable assignment

foo = bar

all:
        @echo $(foo)
[hauke@pizza] /<1>tmp/maketest > make
bar
[hauke@pizza] /<1>tmp/maketest > make foo=deadbeef
deadbeef
[hauke@pizza] /<1>tmp/maketest > gmake
bar
[hauke@pizza] /<1>tmp/maketest > gmake foo=deadbeef
deadbeef
[hauke@pizza] /<1>tmp/maketest >

        hauke
