I'm talking about making the variables explicit. Right now, you can copy&paste a line from the build system output that fails within the build but works perfectly well on your command-line (and vice-versa). That makes it hard to debug stuff. If we print the variables for each command, then there'll be no such confusion. (or at least, if we print any non-standard or unusual variables -- I'm not suggesting that we need to print the PATH for every command!)
