Got any idea how to word it? I just had a look, and LINT already has
a few examples of "makeoptions" in there. I thought about adding
something like
==
#
# Additional options that will be included verbatim on the make(1)
# command line when this kernel is compiled.
#
#makeoptions DEBUG="-g"
==
but thought I'd run it past you guys first.
