It should though, since all -e does is to make the environment
variables take precedence over make assignments. But in case of
assignments in EXTRA_OEMAKE, they are make assignments, so they
shouldn't be affected:

$ cat Makefile
FOO = bar

all:
        echo $(FOO)

.PHONY: all


$ make FOO=qux
echo qux
qux
$ make -e FOO=qux
echo qux
qux
$ FOO=qux make
echo bar
bar
$ FOO=qux make -e
echo qux
qux
