You'll need to use /etc/LiveSystem-make.conf which synth uses INSTEAD of
/etc/make.conf, assuming you use the default profile. This threw me for a
loop, hope to save new synth users some time and hair pulling.
The man page is a bit vague on where the "builder's /etc/make.conf" is
sourced -- from within the jail or the base system?
"This is an optional, user-provided file. If it exists, the builder's
/etc/make.conf will be appended with the contents of this file. For
the default profile, the file would normally be located at
/usr/local/etc/synth/LiveSystem-make.conf"
