Oh dear, you're right. I suck at testing:-( I've fixed this locally.

For reference, Makefile.lib is included after the Makefile in the
relevant source directory, whereas my patch assumed the other way
around. So, rather than setting defaults in Makefile.lib and having
foo/Makefile override them, I should set the non-defaults in
foo/Makefile, and have Makefile.lib provide default values for variables
that aren't already set. Testing indicates this solves the problem!
