Hi, In commit a76200de we added a line to unset MAKELEVEL to fix a problem with our temp-install logic. I don't think it was a great idea to clear MAKEFLAGS at the same time, because now when you type "make -s -j8" on a non-GNU system it ignores you and is loud and slow. Admittedly there is something slightly weird about passing flags to both makes, but in the case of widely understood flags like those ones, it works fine.
