Would it be likely that, if you grepped in the /usr/ports/Mk directory, that the
entry in bsd.commands.mk might have the entry you're interested in?  Least,
that's a BSD Make template file which does this, but if that part of your build
is done via GNU Make, or CMake, something like that, I might be wrong here.
You'd have to tell me what make tool you're talking about.
