+# We don't allow the EMACS or GZIP Makefile variables inherit values
+# from the environment as we do with CC and CXX above. The reason is
+# that these names as environment variables have existing uses other
+# than the program name that we want. (EMACS is set to 't' when a
+# shell is running within emacs and GZIP specifies arguments to pass
+# on the gzip command line).
