I wasn't running make with -e. I believe the commandline was similar to 'make -DNO_KERBEROS -DNO_WERROR buildworld', and never saw miscellaneous switches passed. So, yeah, it worked only after I unset CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS for that session's environment. Like I said, I'm generally new to this. Not so much FreeBSD as why something on that level was breaking. I didn't set -e, and didn't see it miscellaneously set someplace, so could this be a bug that I stumbled across? That was using the 5.1-RELEASE version of make to do that buildworld of CURRENT, so I'll have to check later if it has similar behavior with CURRENT's make.
