bmake treats MAKEFILE the same way old sysV make did, it gets set to the 
name of the [mM]akefile read.
This is obviously something fmake never did, and ports relies on being
able to set the variable.

The new version of bmake allows for both behaviors by using an internal
context for the sysV behavior.  If the makefiles explicitly set a value
for MAKEFILE, that overrides the one that bmake itself would set.

I don't know - the PR body described a different issue - which clearly
needed fixing.
