For some reason, .MAKE.SAVE_DOLLARS defaults to true in

Oops, that was wrong.

In NetBSD's usr.bin/make, .MAKE.SAVE_DOLLARS defaults to true, which
preserves dollars in ':=' assignments.

In the bmake distribution and in pkgsrc/devel/bmake (which is an exact
clone of bmake-20200524, except for tiny portability patches), it
defaults to false.

So yes, make and bmake differ, and the pkgsrc code should work in both
variants in the very same way.
