Yeah, it is.  I looked at the gmake manual on that machine, and its
description of "export" seems about the same as what I see in a
modern version.  So it should work ... but we've found bugs in 3.80
before.

Let me poke at it and see if there's a variant that works.
The wording of the message suggests that maybe breaking it into
two separate rules would help.
