why does buildkernel set COMPILER_TYPE?

I've noticed that if you do a:
make buildworld WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC=YES

and then do a:
make buildkernel

(w/o the WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC=YES option)
that it fails...  Apparently instead of letting buildkernel figure out
which compiler it will use, the src/Makefile.inc1 forces COMPILER_TYPE
to be what the options specified instead of using what bsd.compiler.mk
figures out...

Can w/ please fix this?  This isn't the first time I've run into this,
and it's quite anoying.

This simple patch fixes it:
ndex: Makefile.inc1

 KMAKE=         ${KMAKEENV} ${MAKE} ${.MAKEFLAGS} ${KERNEL_FLAGS} KERNEL=${INSTKERNNAME}
 
 #

This just removes setting COMPILER_TYPE for the kernel target and lets
the magic in bsd.compiler.mk do it's thing...

Comments?
