I think I found the cause for this trouble. Remember the recent changes to
sudo? There is a new default that the environment isn't inherited. There are
some variables found in /etc/sudoers, that are kept nonetheless, but as far
as I can see it, one is missing: MAKECONF.
I can't tell if this should be preserved by default, maybe Todd can say a few
words?
Take care,
Stephan
