The only make variables that are exported by default are the ones that came from the environment in the first place. This is part of the POSIX definition of make, so it's not just GNU make that works this way.

For example, in this case the setting of ORACLE_HOME in the makefile will only be exported if ORACLE_HOME was set in the user's environment before make was invoked.

Cheers!
