Yes, hyphens are optional in GNUMAKEFLAGS.

However, makeopts_loadavg() would still be able to extract the 
hyphen-prefixed short (-l) and long (--load-average) options from 
GNUMAKEFLAGS. Hence having makeopts_loadavg() also inspect GNUMAKEFLAGS 
seems like an improvement over the current situation.

But maybe I am missing something? I am not sure if your comment just a 
remark, or do you oppose the change?
