Hello Ralf.
I have found the following minimal testcase:
$ cat Makefile
foo1:
$(MAKE) A="x " foo2
foo2:
$(MAKE) B=x foo3
foo3:
@echo $@ has run
$ /usr/xpg4/bin/make
/usr/xpg4/bin/make A="x " foo2
/usr/xpg4/bin/make B=x foo3
*** Signal 11 - core dumped
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `foo2'
And yes, as weird as it might seem, the double indirection is
required:
$ cat Makefile
foo1:
$(MAKE) A="x " foo2
foo2:
@echo $@ has run
$ /usr/xpg4/bin/make
/usr/xpg4/bin/make A="x " foo2
foo2 has run

For heirloom make, I found an address for bug reports, and I'll send a
report. For Solaris and OpenSolaris, do you know which address should
I send a report to?

I think my testcase is simple enough; I'll let the gory details to the
developers.
