Okay, note to self: Do not assume that everyone can read between
the lines. That was a bad reply I gave to a question.
To answer: yes, I have tried to set this and other reasonable envs
(see
https://pagure.io/guix-dev/c/07c579fd3e7e0621ef0f323b6130c74fe5a09f62?branch=games%2F0ad
) and it had no effect.

The values are used, but they are not changed/applied during the
build.
There's a Makefile, but everyone else (distros) is just skipping
that. I did so too, but I haven't documented the reason(s) for
myself. I will try running autotools and use this Makefile, to
document at least what it does.
