ports.7: Fix example of passing variables on the command line
make(1)'s -D flag does not allow for setting the value of the variable. It just defines the variable and sets its value to 1. In fact, make(1) treats "=" as just another character in the variable name: ``` $ make -DA=2 -V A # Output is just an empty line. $ make -DA=2 -V A=2 # Variable "A=2" is defined and set to "1". 1 ``` Fixes: d25f7d324a9d ports.7: Document DEBUG_FLAGS and the process of debugging ports MFC after: 3 days
