Yup, sure, what I meant was that, given that portmaster runs "make"
under cover, the overrides in make.conf don't seem to have any effect in
this case. I might as well have cd'd to /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 && make
fetch with the same results. Those settings are probably not intended to
be configured by the end user, but rather port maintainer.
