I found a similar problem. However, I think that your problem can be
fixed using the following code (not that I did not test it).

> Makefile
> --------
> 
> all:
	TEST=yes           <= changed here
	export TEST        <= changed here
> 	$(MAKE) -f new.mak
> 
> new.mak
> ----------
> 
> result:
> 	echo $(TEST)
> 
> -----------------------------------------------

Note that the spaces have been removed on the assignment of test and
that it was placed in "all:" so that it becomes a shell assignment.
