Follow-up Comment #5, bug #62595 (project make): I'd never heard of these env file things, so appreciated the well-written posts that those links point to. Why would this feature be better in Make rather than in a wrapper? If you wanted, for some reason that I'm struggling to guess, to keep "make" as the interface, then I think it'd be straightforward to write a Makefile that would spot that an expected environment variable wasn't available, then started a shell that sourced the environment file, exported all its variables and reran make.
