Summary:                    set | export variables breaking builds: theedge && lunar
Description: 
diagnosed on nfs-utils, but serveral past bugs have paralleled this one,
behavior:

external commands (e.g. ./configure, make, make install)
behave differently when run from 'lin' than if run from
the shell.

This is obvious but I'm going to add it anyway.

unfortunately adding ( source unset.sh && [configure|make|make install|
...] )
into default_build and other locations in the core code only solves the 
minority of the modules out there. (ca. 25%).

presently ~1200 of 1600 total modules use BUILD with a total of 2000 
external commands. 

To make matters worse, the multi-line nature of module files makes this 
fairly intractible to (perl, awk, sed .. ) batch-fixing.

I suppose we can fix core and advise module authors experiencing 
problems to use the technique.

unset.sh appears to have fixed these problems when they arise... closing
this bug!
