doh!   What a monumental effort to learn such a small thing about the
env command.

Can't say I ever looked at your message again after the first time I
read it and started reading about ports (and man, is there ever a lot to
read!).  I've always used 
   export ENVVAR="whatever"; make
It didn't even cross my mind that "make" was a parameter to the env
command. 

so, thanks for proof-reading my command for me!
