It's a location of make.conf file that is included by the default FreeBSD version of sys.mk. So if we wanted to emphasize this, it'd be more logical to talk more about make.conf(5) itself, what it is and how it's used in FreeBSD. It can be a separate section, e.g. "FreeBSD sys.mk", documenting __MAKE_CONF and probably other "make \ __MAKE_CONF=3D/dev/null -f /dev/null -dg1" bits. Or it could be a short explanation of what make.conf is and then a reference to the make.conf(5) manpage. But it's certainly not the make's internal variable (where it was initially documented), hence my objection=A0to this commit.
