 I asked rillig@ this last fall, and his analysis is, in my words:
 
 Since usr.bin/make from 2020-08-22, internal variables that are
 provided over the command line, are not put into MAKEFLAGS into
 longer.
 
 NetBSD 9 doesn't have this patch.
 
 mk-configure pulls in bmake from pkgsrc (with this change). The build
 is started using NetBSD 9's make, which exports the (internal)
 MAKEFLAGS variable and calls bmake-20240711, which complains about the
 try of overwriting the internal variable.
 
 If I got it wrong, I hope rillig will correct me :)
