Yes, BUILD_DEFS is mainly used to record the values of variables which
would influence the way that a binary package was built. Or, at least,
that's what it was designed for in the first place.

Please note that there are also some system values recorded in the
eventual BUILD_DEFS as well - things like OBJECT_FMT, OPSYS,
OS_VERSION, _PKGTOOLS_VER, CC_VERSION, etc - for example:
