Okay, now I have a better idea what this is about. I just checked with
the make version in 12.4, and that worked fine.

I have a possible update for this commit that avoids the part that
*seems* to be problematic here. It's more verbose now, but probably also
more readable, so, will put this up for review soon.

But probably it still makes sense to have some up-to-date environment
for portsnap ;)
