What about something like this?
if [[ "$(check_option makeflags)" = "n" ]]; then

None of the quotes are needed. I'm inclined to replace it with:
if [[ $(check_option makeflags) = "n" ]]; then

While the quotes around n are not needed, they highlight that n is a string 
which appeals to me since it looks like a string as found in other languages. 
Or would you say to drop all the quotes.


Aren't the quotes around the string on the right required if it does contain spaces? Anyway, I would prefer all such strings to be quoted so I am happy with your suggestion.
