Since make(1) often uses [EnvironmentVariable]s named after commands to store the path to command in question, such names should be avoided for other purposes. Examples include __CC__, __BISON__, __YACC__, __LEX__, __FLEX__, __F77__, __LD__ etc. It also uses the __FLAGS__ suffix for default flags to pass a command, eg: __CFLAGS__, __LDFLAGS__, etc.
