Thanks, that's also disovered by lintian:

MakeMaker in general is very well-behaved, but this specific package
loses some flags when calling a sub-make in the tacpluslib/
directory.
In other words: it's not the standard perl way, and I haven't
understood what exactly is happening there.

Definitly worth further investigation.
