Yeah, ignoring builtin variables makes sense to me, too!
But the problem is that when no goals are specified at run-time,
then in that situation the variable is not built-in.
GNU Make should probably not implement a concept of "this variable
is built in, but, oh, not at the moment".
A variable that is "de-facto built-in, but not defined", should
only be one that serves as an *input* to make, not one that is
used to *output* useful information.
In other words, what is built in is not that variable /per se/
but the program's detection of and reaction to it.
