What? make.conf isn't a 'local' file? :-) You guys are actually going
to uncomment something in the official make.conf to do the ELF

I suppose we can hold off for a week or two.
*OR* we can simply add the make.conf.local functionality, which was
what I wanted to do in the first place. Nice and neat, functinoal,
no skin off anyone's nose except maybe for a few purists.
