Should have worked, but it didn't. I even tried override, but that
failed too :\:

address@hidden pciutils-3.0.3]$ make
NOVA_WORKSPACE=/scratch/hoover -f Makefile.nova
Makefile.nova:3: nova-binos-compat.mk: No such file or directory
make-3.81: *** No rule to make target `nova-binos-compat.mk'.  Stop.
address@hidden pciutils-3.0.3]$ cat Makefile.nova
override MAKEFLAGS      += --include=$(NOVA_WORKSPACE)/build/make-lib/

include nova-binos-compat.mk

all clean install:
        $(MAKE) \
        CROSS_COMPILE=\"$(CROSS_COMPILE)\" \
        HOST=\"$(TARGET)-unknown-linux\" \
        CFLAGS=\"-isystem -I$(NOVA_INSTALL_BASE)/usr/include\" \
        LDFLAGS=\"-L$(NOVA_INSTALL_BASE)/usr/lib -lc -lzlib\" \
        $@

Ideas?
