        I agree with Marcel. COMPILER_TYPE showed up before 10.0-CURRENT 
dealing with the gcc->clang cutover and caused some minor issues when 
integrating with some FreeBSD makefiles unless using the top-level make rules. 
It would be nice if it defaulted to something sane now that the build knobs 
work has been moved out to src.opts.mk .
