This change allows for GNU Make to pick up variables for the configuration not just from being overridden on the command line, but from the environment, e.g. export CC=cc; export CXX=c++ is present in my environment, otherwise an incorrect system compiler is used.
I find this behaviour to be useful, however, it is far from required.
