It turns out it was my /etc/shrc which is set in $ENV and does some stuff like providing the right umask and $PATH when I su.

This used a variable which I unset at the end. When I took this out make no cares about the indented comments.

$ cd /usr/src/usr.bin/less
$ echo unset test >~/test.sh
$ ENV=~/test.sh make -f Makefile.bsd-wrapper depend

# Nothing here so far...
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/usr.bin/less (line 87 of /usr/src/usr.bin/less/Makefile.bsd-wrapper).
