>From the manpage:


     The values of variables are ignored regardless of their setting; 
even if
     they would be set to ``FALSE'' or ``NO''.  Just the existence of 
an
     option will cause it to be honoured by make(1).

so the plain option is enough. If the machines are in environment 
where they might be someday administered by someone else, I'd use pure 
option to avoid confusing someone who hasn't read the manpage and 
thinks setting variables to false will void them.
