A good starting point might be to ship our own tex-Makefile:

create a folder e.g. Documentation/sphinx-tex place your
Makefile (a copy of Sphinx's Makefile) in. In conf.py set
the

latex_additional_files = [
"sphinx-text/Makefile"
]

In the sphinx-tex/Makefile set e.g.

# Additional LaTeX options
LATEXOPTS = -interaction=batchmode
LATEX_ENV = max_print_line=120

LATEX = $(LATEX_ENV) latex
PDFLATEX = $(LATEX_ENV) pdflatex
MAKEINDEX = $(LATEX_ENV) makeindex

this is what I do in my projects to separate my tex-Makefile settings
from the main sphinx-Makefile.
