I keep a bash function in ~/.bash_aliases to transform the value of 
$MAKEPATH into a series of -I switches:

function make_with_path () {
    local EXTRAS
    local index=1
    local copy="$MAKEPATH"
    local old
    while [ -n "$copy" ] ; do
        EXTRAS=("address@hidden" -I "${copy%%:*}")
        old="$copy"
        copy="${copy#*:}"
        if [ "$old" == "$copy" ] ; then break ; fi
    done
    `which make` "address@hidden" "$@"
}

alias make=make_with_path

It has been known to break some things occasionally, for which I have to 
unalias make.
