mergemaster [as an example] has code like:

> # grep -i make /usr/sbin/mergemaster | more
. . .
> MM_MAKE=3D"make ${ARCHSTRING} -m ${SOURCEDIR}/share/mk"
>         ${MM_MAKE} DESTDIR=3D${DESTDIR} distrib-dirs >/dev/null
>       ${MM_MAKE} DESTDIR=3D${TEMPROOT} distrib-dirs >/dev/null &&
>       ${MM_MAKE} _obj SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=3Detc >/dev/null &&
>       ${MM_MAKE} everything SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=3Detc >/dev/null &&
>       ${MM_MAKE} DESTDIR=3D${TEMPROOT} distribution >/dev/null;} ||
. . .

If one is using WITH_META_MODE=3D for buildworld, buidlkernel, =
installkernel, installworld what is appropriate for scripts or other =
uses of make for other makefile-targets?

Are there explicit mixes of using WITH_META_MODE=3D for some makefile =
targets and not using WITH_META_MODE=3D for other makefile targets that =
need to be avoided? Does one need to force some scripts to use [or not =
use] WITH_META_MODE=3D for their "internal" make usage?
