Yes, it's called the difference between environment variables and Makefile
variables. This is how make works, and is standard behavior.

Is your argument for it "not working" really that you pass the flag after
instead of before or in the env? This seems pretty silly, especially to
use an unsupported method of building to do so.

Either that, or you are being unnecessarily terse in your replies, and
not including some context which would explain why it absolutely must
use env vars instead of Makefile var assignment.
