-A      Make archive errors non-fatal, causing make to just skip the remainder or all of the archive and
        continue after printing a message.

-B      Try to be backwards compatible by executing a single shell per command and by executing the
        commands to make the sources of a dependency line in sequence.  This is turned on by default unless
        -j is used.

-C directory
        Change to directory before reading the makefiles or doing anything else.  If multiple -C options
        are specified, each is interpreted relative to the previous one: -C / -C etc is equivalent to -C
        /etc.

-D variable
        Define variable to be 1, in the global context.

-d flags
        Turn on debugging, and specify which portions of make are to print debugging information.  Argument
        flags is one or more of the following:

-E variable
        Specify a variable whose environment value (if any) will override macro assignments within
        makefiles.

-e      Specify that environment values override macro assignments within makefiles for all variables.

-f makefile
        Specify a makefile to read instead of the default one.  If makefile is not an absolute pathname,
        make will search for it as described above.  In case makefile is ‘-’, standard input is read.
        Multiple -f options can be supplied, and the makefiles will be read in that order.  Unlike the
        other command-line options, -f is neither stored in .MAKEFLAGS nor pushed down to sub-makes via
        MAKEFLAGS.  See below for more details on these variables.

-I directory
        Specify a directory in which to search for makefiles and included makefiles.  Multiple -I options
        can be specified to form a search path.  The system makefile directory (or directories, see the -m
        option) is automatically appended at the tail of this path.

-i      Ignore non-zero exit of shell commands in the makefile.  Equivalent to specifying ‘-’ before each
        command line in the makefile.

-j max_jobs
        Specify the maximum number of jobs that make may have running at any one time.  Turns compatibility
        mode off, unless the -B flag is also specified.

-k      Continue processing after errors are encountered, but only on those targets that do not depend on
        the target whose creation caused the error.

-m directory
        Specify a directory in which to search for the system makefile and makefiles included via the <...>
        style.  Multiple -m options can be specified to form a search path.  This path will override the
        default system include path, /usr/share/mk.  The system include path will always be appended to the
        search path used for "..."-style inclusions and makefile searches (see the -I option).

-n      Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not actually execute them.

-P      Collate the output of a given job and display it only when the job finishes, instead of mixing the
        output of parallel jobs together.  This option has no effect unless -j is used too.

-p      Only print the input graph, not executing any commands.  The output is the same as -d g1.  When
        combined with -f /dev/null, only the builtin rules of make are displayed.

-Q      Be extra quiet.  For multi-job makes, this will cause file banners not to be generated.

-q      Do not execute any commands, but exit 0 if the specified targets are up-to-date and 1, otherwise.

-r      Do not process the system makefile.

-S      Stop processing when an error is encountered.  Default behaviour.  This is needed to negate the -k
        option during recursive builds.

-s      Do not echo any commands as they are executed.  Equivalent to specifying ‘@’ before each command
        line in the makefile.

-t      Rather than re-building a target as specified in the makefile, create it or update its modification
        time to make it appear up-to-date.

-V variable
        Print make's idea of the value of variable, in the global context.  Do not build any targets.
        Multiple instances of this option may be specified; the variables will be printed one per line,
        with a blank line for each null or undefined variable.

-v      Be extra verbose.  Print any extra information.

-X      When using the -V option to print the values of variables, do not recursively expand the values.

variable=value
        Set the value of the variable variable to value.

-x warning_options
        Specify extended warning options.  This option may be specified several times.  A warning_option
        can be prefixed with “no” in which case the warning is switched off.  The currently available
        options are:
