OK I see it now, only happens on x86.

It looks like it's coming in via kbuild. Though I can only see it being set in
arch/x86/Makefile.um, and I don't know why that is being sourced. But it must
be.

So this is another symptom of running via the top-level Makefile rather than
directly.

I'll try and find a fix.
