No, I thought about leaving out any concrete examples but just adding a
sentence like:

kconfig and kbuild allow tuning and checks by settings various
environment variables, cp. Documentation/kbuild/ for details.

Then there is no need to re-document each variable in 'make help' but
those who are new are explicitly pointed to the maintained
documentation.

Kind regards,
Nicolas
