If you have a variable declaration in the MAKEOPT environment variable,
that declaration will override a similar declaration specified on the
command line.
Example:
setenv MAKEOPT "-wk DESTDIR=/afs/.testers/system/@sys/urvd.new"
make install DESTDIR=/afs/athena/astaff/project/afsdev/build/$hosttype/
The DESTDIR specified on the "make" command line will not be used. This
exact example has bitten me several times, and has occassionally
affected REAL system packs.
