Hmm, I thought it was a problem with the shell, but now when I build
mail/mutt, I notice that no matter what I do, if I don't set MAKE
explicitly when invoking 'bmake', it fails to start the actual build.

It first configures it correctly, but then fails:

Obviously, it's missing the make-command at the beginning.  I'm a bit
stumped as to where it got lost, though...
