Details:

MAKEOVERRIDES += FOO=y

correctly overrides the value of FOO in
the recursive invocations, but
$(origin FOO) still returns 'command line'.



----------------(test code)------------------
MAKEOVERRIDES += FOO=overridden-value

all:
        @$(MAKE) sub-make

sub-make:
        @echo FOO is $(FOO)
        @echo origin of FOO is $(origin FOO)
----------------(test code end)------------------


$ make FOO=x
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/masahiro/workspace/test/'
FOO is y
origin of FOO is command line
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/masahiro/workspace/test/'


I think $(origin FOO) should return 'override' in this case.
