There are two new directives
‘export’ and ‘unexport’. All variables are
  no longer automatically put into the environments of the commands that
  Make runs.  Instead, only variables specified on the command line or in
  the environment are exported by default.  To export others, use:
	export VARIABLE
  or you can define variables with:
	export VARIABLE = VALUE
  or:
	export VARIABLE := VALUE
  You can use just:
	export
  or:
	.EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES:
  to get the old behavior.  See the node ‘Variables/Recursion’ in the manual
  for a full description.
