  | Otherwise, any site with a custom installation or any preferences
  | outside the norm will never be able to properly build a release or
  | a distribution.

When building a release, I always use

	env -i PATH=$PATH USER=$USER LOGNAME=$LOGNAME MAKECONF=/dev/null \
		sh build.sh release

(and all the right quotes, and the other args for build.sh I omitted here)

This way, nothing in the local environment (as in envp, as well as mk.conf)
can possibly affect the outcome, and customisations I use when compiling
stuff for myself all get ignored.

No extra magic is needed.
