This is probably not permitted in the POSIX case. POSIX specifies:
% 23836 Default Rules
% 23837 The default rules for make shall achieve results that are the same as if the following were used.
% ...
% 23850 YACC=yacc
If YACC=yacc were used, then it would achieves different results from
YACC=byacc if yacc is a link to bison; therefore, YACC=byacc would be
a bug.
It seems wrong for FreeBSD's sys.mk to support non-BSD systems anyway.
