> It has to do with the way the shell handles variables. Each shell gets its own
> environment so that variables defined there are usually local and unknown
> outside. Adding "export" makes a variable accessible in the current shell S and

> in a spec file, CFLAGS is known inside the shell calling "build.tmp" but not in

> returning to the parent (rpm) shell. Thus, the following "make" process doesn't
> know anything about the previously set CFLAGS variable. But when placing the
> make statement inside "build.tmp", the variable is still accessible.
