Make handles commands with $(MAKE) in them specially. It is not clear
to me that this still works if the $(MAKE) comes from a variable.
Therefore I'd prefer that you did this
REMAKEARGS= LANGUAGES="$(LANGUAGES)" BOOT_CFLAGS="$(BOOT_CFLAGS)"
...
foo:
$(MAKE) $(REMAKEARGS) ...
even though that's more verbose. Or else find out for sure that your
original code is safe.
