The current workaround for this is to use EXTRA_EMAKE from ebuild,

EXTRA_EMAKE isn't mentioned by the PMS. Do all package managers
support this variable? Portage does since 2004 at least.
EXTRA_EMAKE isn't supposed to be mentioned there. It's an internal use
variable for users who need to pass something specific to make.
Can we make econf in src_configure, emake in src_compile, and emake
install in src_install accept arguments "$@" in EAPI=5, please?
I'd rather document EXTRA_EMAKE and EXTRA_ECONF in the spec, either
retroactively (in case all package managers support these variables
already), or for EAPI 5. It would accomplish the same as your
proposal, even without the need to add an explicit src_install
function.
As above. Otherwise, we'll end up reimplementing just another variable
to let users pass their custom arguments.
Yeah, I think we should keep these EXTRA_* for users only and have
something else for the ebuilds
(And I'm sure I don't remember wrong by saying some people have quite
passionately resisted using EXTRA_ECONF within an ebuild in the past for
this exact reasoning)
