I've recently installed b18, and I'm having problems because
the 'export' command in make seems to do nothing.

That is, following

	FOO = bar baz
	export FOO

any sub-make's expand $(FOO) to null.  It doesn't work this way
on Solaris, and I don't see what I could be doing wrong.

Any tips would be appreciated.
