  Not really I'm afraid...

  We could define MAKE as env -i $(MAKE), but there are some environment
variables that are passed to sub-makes that you loose this way.  Maybe
better is to define SHELL as env -i sh, but that could have huge side
effects...


  But maybe we shouldn't exaggerate here.  Putting a QMAKESPEC in your
environment would make any qt build fail, so it's not really a
buildroot problem.  Maybe a better idea is to put in the documentation
that the safe way is to use 'env -i make' to start a build...
