Subject: make(1) is acting erratically

I'm trying to debug https://gnats.netbsd.org/59594 and I'm running into some problems. As described in that PR, I figured out a while ago that the problem in the PR was due to a commit[1] that cleared MAKEFLAGS, so that make(1) would not remember to use the system makefiles in ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/share/mk instead of /usr/share/mk. I have already shown that not clearing MAKEFLAGS makes the build complete.

The problem comes when I try to tell make(1) where the system makefiles are, while otherwise clearing MAKEFLAGS so that the intent of that problematic commit is kept. No matter what I do, make(1) does not want to use the system makefiles that I tell it to, even though, by make's own output, it seems like it should, because the correct paths are in MAKECONF and .SYSPATH when I print them out.

I am running a NetBSD from a couple of days before the problematic commit[1]. I downloaded the NetBSD src and xsrc trees for an up-to-date NetBSD current. I ran make buildworld with native make (not build.sh) until it failed at the checkflist stage at the end. To debug, I took the following steps:

I added a line at the beginning of checkflist like

env > checkflist-env.txt

to get a copy of the environment that checkflist was running in, and I combined that with the output of the build that said what the checkflist command line was, into a script called cmd.sh so that I could run just that one step as it was being called in the build, but without waiting for a long time.

I modified checkflist to source sets.subr2 instead of sets.subr. sets.subr2 is a cut-down version of sets.subr.

I changed sets.subr2 to use mkvars2.mk instead of mkvars.mk. mkvars2.mk is a cut-down version of mkvars.mk.

HAVE_OPENSSL="30"

----

This shows that the -m argument to set the path to the system makefiles was successfully given to make, and in fact even the .SYSPATH, which is supposedly where make(1) looks for the system makefiles, is correct, however HAVE_OPENSSL=30 shows that in practice what make(1) is really doing is not looking in /usr/netbsd/current/src/share/mk, but looking in /usr/share/mk. As I am running a version of NetBSD from before the OpenSSL update, the value of this variable is 30 instead of 35, as would be the case on an up-to-date NetBSD current. This can also be shown by poisoning /usr/share/mk/bsd.own.mk by adding the following line at the top of that file:

.error This file has been poisoned.

and make(1) will loudly error out when it reaches that line. However, if it errors out at that location, then the diagnostic messages will not be printed.

Is this behavior of not using the correct system makefile path indicative of a bug in make(1), or is something very subtle going on here?
