I made a slightly differently-worded change and applied it, thanks!

It seems like there needs to be a different section on this issue than the one everything is referencing now (Variables/Recursion) because there are lots of reasons to export variables that aren't related to recursion.

However I didn't feel up to a major update.

The manual states in 6.10

"When make runs a recipe, variables defined in the makefile are placed into the environment of each shell."

This statement gives impression that each make variable defined in the makefile is placed to the env of each child, by default.
