Figured out why these variables exist and why these Makefiles suck
(from the CVS comment for the files I just committed):

2. Fix up a number of Makefiles and start a WiP with network/ipv6 and
network/lib6. I now understand why network/ipv6/ // network/tcp_cmds
are so hacked up scripting-wise (look at network/ipv6/Makefile for
more details -- it's a linky hacky mess). Also, need to figure out a
better way to deal with all of this cruddy runcc.a logic -- it really
has no good purpose and should be disposed of.

Thanks,
