I tried the following makefile in cygwin and linux 2.0.36.

[makefile]
#
override CFLAGS += -DDEFINE1
CFLAGS += -DDEFINE2

all: a.o

[cygwin]
$ make -v
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

$ make
gcc -DDEFINE1   -c -o a.o a.c
a.c:1: parse error before `{'
make: *** [a.o] Error 1

[linux]
$ make -v

$ make
cc -DDEFINE1   -c a.c -o a.o

-DDEFINE2 is expanded in neither case.
