It's damned nice of you to work on this.  Thanks!

That's what I think, too.  But I think (not sure) that a fresh gmake
image is forked & execed for each subdir.  In that case there
shouldn't be any pollution from the parent process.

I think it probably is due to that.  Building ezm3 by hand (typing
"gmake" in $WRKSRC) works OK, and about the only possible difference
is in the environment.  But, hey, I'm not proud! :-) I'll commit your
patch for now.  At least it solves the problem.
