An attached patch seems to fix the problem.
Does anybody actually understand what's really going on in this file?
Everyone uses the words "seems to" and "I think" when they're proposing
fixes in this file.
Disregard my "seems" word above, it really fixes the problem ;=)
BTW, I has given a comment:

I propose that we hold out for a fix which is accompanied by comments
that explain what the hell all these oddball variables are used for and
why SHARED is overridden (or used at all in the buildworld case).
Obviously, to speed up the building process.
Ruslan, if I misunderstood your words, please don't take offense. It's
just that this'll be the 5th commit in this regard without comment
from Marcel, who was responsible for rewriting most of this Makefile
recently.
I was told by Alexey Zelkin that Marcel was hired by some giant company,
and he asked for FreeBSD vacation for some time (though I personally
did not see such a message)...
