@mcb30 thank you for your explanation. I found the sentiment you referenced:
> When make runs a recipe, variables defined in the makefile are placed into
> the environment of each shell.
> ...
> Other use of variables from the environment is not recommended. It is not
> wise for makefiles to depend for their functioning on environment variables
> set up outside their control, since this would cause different users to get
> different results from the same makefile. This is against the whole purpose
> of most makefiles.
