Summary:
Environment variables set in the Makefile do not get inherited
into anything run via the "shell" subcommand.
Tested on GNU Make versions:
3.81 (on Ubuntu)
4.1 (on FreeBSD)
Example Makefile contents which can show the bug:
export FOO=foo
main:
echo "$(shell env)"
env
If exporting to the environment functioned properly, you'd expect
to see 2 "FOO=foo" outputs (one from the "echo", one from the bare
"env"), but what we observed was that the env printed out as part
of the "echo" did not contain the "FOO=foo".
Environment variables from outside the Makefile seem to be inherited
just fine.
