Use of env SRC_ENV_CONF=. . . for buildworld does not override/avoid use of /etc/src.conf : Intentional?

[Mark Millard]

I just had a case of "odd" command text in a buildworld that was based on (in part) env SRC_ENV_CONF=. . .

env __MAKE_CONF=. . . does not get the kind of behavior reported below for /etc/src.conf .

Overall this means that even with an explicit env SRC_ENV_CONF=. . . one must separately prevent /etc/src.conf from contributing if the SRC_ENV_CONF file is intended to cover everything.

Looking in the log from a failure that resulted shows that .MAKE.MAKEFILES shows both the SRC_ENV_CONF expansion and also a /etc/src.conf as well (formatted to make the /etc/src.conf and such stand out: separate lines wiht whitespace before and after and with just one path on the line for such file paths):

The context I was under was:

> # uname -apKU
> FreeBSD FreeBSDx64 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #2 r308247M: Thu Nov  3 04:05:55 PDT 2016     markmi at FreeBSDx64:/usr/obj/amd64_clang/amd64.amd64/usr/src/sys/GENERIC-NODBG  amd64 amd64 1200014 1200014

I'd just cloned and switched from a stable/11 context to head (12-CURRENT).

If this is intentional then I think the man src.conf references and such should be explicit about the /etc/make.conf vs. /etc/src.conf distinction for __MAKE_CONF= vs. SRC_ENV_CONF= .
