Rather, it's a FreeBSD specific feature, it doesn't have any direct connection to the make utility (as well as CPUTYPE, CFLAGS, etc.). As such, it shouldn't be documented in the make(1) manpage. OTOH, build(7) could benefit =66rom talking more about make.conf(5), while having __MAKE_CONF only documented in make.conf(5) is fine. We really don't need any more duplication.
