Well, I don't know if there is a "typical" makefile configuration, but
here are some of the rules and definitions from a makefile generated by
automake:

DEFS =  -DPACKAGE=\"openwbem\" -DVERSION=\"1.0\" -DYYTEXT_POINTER=1  -I.
-I$(srcdir)
CPPFLAGS =
LDFLAGS =
LIBS =
CXXFLAGS = -g -O2
CXXCOMPILE = $(CXX) $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS)
$(AM_CXXFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS)

.cpp.o:
   $(CXXCOMPILE) -c $<

Thus the user can override any number of things:
compiler - CXX
defines - DEFS
include directories - INCLUDES
debug/optimization/warning flags - CXXFLAGS
linker flags - LDFLAGS
additional libraries - LIBS
