Why are you being so obstinate about this?
Hundreds of thousands of package builds have been done with make(1)
before your "fix". Now there are gratuitous differences in the build
output. Why?
This is an immense POLA violation -- which is something you're very quick
to beat other people over the head with. The fact that it was done this
way in the historical past is irrelevant. The fact that other OSes may
or may not do it this way is irrelevant. The fact that FreeBSD has done
it the way that it has for -- what, 10 years -- *is* relevant, and is
the *only* thing that is relevant.
There are plenty of other _real_ problems in FreeBSD (e.g. ancient PRs
assigned to committers that are long-undealt-with). Rather than arguing
over a point you've already lost, why not work on those instead?
