Setting this variable in the Makefile seems to me to be a bit
fragile.  I imagine there would be some people trying to build on an
old version of OSX, or of course trying to build on future version
of OSX.

I don't really have a concrete solution to offer, however.  Doing a
quick bit of research finds this technical note:

Which describes what is going on with this variable.
