Not really: this only describes how one can setup recursive
targets with GNU make.  Option -C is neither portable nor
standard.

How about the following patch to Automake?  

The very last paragraph of check4.test shows how I was able to
reproduce the problem with GNU make (without cygwin
modifications).

	* lib/am/subdirs.am ($(RECURSIVE_TARGETS), mostlyclean-recursive,
	clean-recursive, distclean-recursive, maintainer-clean-recursive):
	Process all words of $MAKEFLAGS when checking for -k.
	* tests/check4.test: New file.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add check4.test.
	Report from Eric Blake.
