I have a hard time understanding what exactly is going on here.
It has nothing to do with the type of shell / OS. e.g. linux/bash behaves
exactly the same with:

export VENDOR=toasted
make wandboard_quad_config all

scripts/Makefile.build:55:
/home/jeroen/software/u-boot/board/toasted/wandboard/Makefile: No such
file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/home/jeroen/software/u-boot/board/toasted/wandboard/Makefile'. Stop.

The slightly shorter (in time) version below, shows similar behavior.
make distclean wandboard_quad_config include/config.h && cat
include/config.h

This would make sense if I did `make VENDOR=toasted`, but that is not
the case. Can you shed some light on this, how does make end up using
the version of the original shell? And how can that be prevented?

Thanks,
Jeroen
