The port's makefile is overriding the setting you put in make.conf.
That variable is intended for use in ports, not by end-users (otherwise,
the port makefile would use a different assignment operator to avoid
overwriting existing settings).
If you really think you can fix the build for that architecture, you
should be modifying the original makefile.
