Then you need to rethink how you plan to accomplish this.  It is
impossible for a child process to modify the environment of the
parent.   No matter what you do to the environment of the child shell,
it is discarded when the process exits and can have no effect on the
environment of the parent make process.  You'll need to either set the
environment before invoking make, or find some way to get the settings
in a format that make can interpret itself and then use 'include' or
'eval' or something.
