<p>That's cute, but <code>AM_CPPCHECKFLAGS</code> is not a real Automake variable, and we don't support per-target versions of it.  I have no good solution to propose here, but maybe having the cppcheck snippet define plugin-specific targets that get added to check-local, something like</p>

<div class="highlight highlight-source-makefile"><pre><span class="pl-en">check-cppcheck-<span class="pl-s">$(<span class="pl-smi">plugin</span>)</span></span>: <span class="pl-s">$(<span class="pl-smi">something clever</span>)</span> ...
<span class="pl-en">check-local</span>: check-cppcheck-<span class="pl-s">$(<span class="pl-smi">plugin</span>)</span></pre></div>

<p>That'd probably work just fine for both recursive and non-recursive versions, and "only" requires additionally having <code>$(plugin)</code> defined -- but for the <code>$(something clever)</code> part I'm not certain how to handle… maybe defining <code>reldir=%D%</code> in the caller and using that somehow?</p>
