Actually make KGZIP=foo will override this still. But it doesn't take an
environment variable for make -e.

However, that's consistent with other variables there like KBZIP2 etc.

Probably the wording in the docs should be tweaked!

Hmmm, TIL, I thought := always overrode a value specified on the command
line but I guess not! I don't think there is anything that needs to be
clarified.

Yeah, news to me too :))

I did slightly tweak the doc so I didn't make a claim that wasn't valid on
KGZIP re: env vars :)
