>Description:
Shell scripts in distrib/sets start with:

make="${MAKE:-make} ..."

and the Makefile in taht directory takes care of passing MAKE in environment

MAKE=${MAKE:Q}

via the SETSENV variable.


However the makeobsolete script is not run from that directory 
and in places where it is invoked the MAKE is not being set in the environment - so makeobsolete invokes host's make that will be very confused about NetBSD makefiles.


E.g. obsolete check in postinstall checks when building on FreeBSD host produces a lot of warnign from (host's make):

"/nb/src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk", line 7: Need an operator
"/nb/src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk", line 7: Need an operator
"/nb/src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk", line 133: Malformed conditional (${USETOOLS_BINUT
"/nb/src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk", line 133: Need an operator
"/nb/src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk", line 145: Malformed conditional (${USETOOLS_GCC:U
"/nb/src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk", line 145: Need an operator
[...etc...]


Similarly, when a miniroot is built distrib/common/Makefile.image
will cause makeobsolete to be invoked (produced by PARSELIST via CMD entry in distrib/common/list.sysinst) with simlar errors.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try building a release on a non-NetBSD host.
>Fix:
MAKE=${MAKE:Q} should be passed in the environment in appropriate places.
