yes, we realize this .. we have a long a complicated history with perf and the
related build issues.

We are stating our general policy, interfere with it's build as little
as possible.
Use extension variables, not clobber variables, etc.

Otherwise, we end up creating our own issues, and have the bugs to prove it :)
