The problem is that local.mk is (for now) an automake source, and
automake doesn't support := because it is designed to create makefiles
portable to more than just GNU make.
Maybe down the road automake will require GNU make, at which point we
can rely on GNU make-isms outside of maint.mk, but for now, we try to
limit the GNU make extensions to the stuff that doesn't impact automake.
