Subj: 	make documentation mismatch?

I am trying to understand a problem I am having with the
build process and I think I have run into a documentation
issue.  I am trying to figure out what flags to pass to
make to get it to list all variable assignments.

/usr/sde/man/cat1/make.1 reports that make understands
a -dv option yet when I run build, build invokes 

/usr/sde/osf1/build/goldminos.bl3/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/hostbin/make

which complains:

Make: Unknown flag argument v.  Stop.

Where do I find a correct man page for the version of make that
build invokes on OSF/1 systems?

The hostbin make has the same source as the stock OSF/1 make.  The only
difference is that the hostbin make was compiled non-shared.  You
should find the DEC OSF/1 manpage for make describes it.
