make: remove comment about environment variable with empty name
At least on NetBSD, make cannot be fooled with an environment variable
having an empty name. When running '/usr/bin/env =undefined make', the
argument is parsed as a variable assignment, but putenv(3) refuses to
process an empty variable name. Calling execve(2) directly got a step
further, the kernel didn't filter '=undefined' from the environment
variables. But getenv(3) always returns NULL when querying the
environment variable with the empty name.
On other operating systems, things may be different. Trying to set an
environment variable with an empty name may cause errors in env(1),
putenv(3), execve(2), getenv(3) or other places, so don't add an
automatic test for now.
