 Replying to [comment:5 leif]:
 > It's totally odd to dump the whole environment whenever `make something`
 is run, where `something` includes `doc`, `ptestlong` and most of all

 Disagree, you never know in advance which environment variables are
 "relevant".  If a build fails, it might be because of some obscure

 >  * use `printenv`, the shell built-in, instead of `env`.
 Disagree, {{{env}}} is more portable than {{{printenv}}}.
