>Description:
Some builtin variables such as .MAKE.OS are not mentioned in the manual.

Others include MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH, which are only mentioned under the ENVIRONMENT section: "uses the following environment variables, if they exist: MACHINE, MACHINE_ARCH, ...". However, looking at usr.bin/make/main.c, make will indeed set them itself, at least in some circumstances.

There may be others I am unaware of as well.
