This behavior is intentional: setting MAKEFLAGS as a make variable assignment modifies the behavior of the currently-running make.  If users want to disable printing directories for the current makefile they can do so by setting the MAKEFLAGS variable.

If you don't want to disable this setting for this instance of make, don't add it to MAKEFLAGS.

If you want to leave print-directories for this makefile but have it unset for children of this makefile, then you can add the flag to the invocation of the child makes.

Since 8f9e7722ff0f80d9f6ae9aba350ae02c3c6db878, --no-print-directory flag gets effective too early.

[Sample Code]

$ cat Makefile
all: ; $(MAKE) -C sub

$ cat sub/Makefile
MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory
all: ; @echo hello

[Test Result]

Prior to commit 8f9e7722ff0f80d9f6ae9aba350ae02c3c6db878,

$ make-4.4
make-4.4 -C sub
make-4.4[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/sub'
hello
make-4.4[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/sub'

Since commit 8f9e7722ff0f80d9f6ae9aba350ae02c3c6db878,

$ make-4.4.1
make-4.4.1 -C sub
hello


I believe "--no-print-directory" in sub/Makefile should not suppress the "Entering directory to sub".
