  RTE_DEVEL_BUILD is set to := y in mk/rte.vars.mk, which makes it
impossible to override via an environment variable, and forces users
to pass it inline in the make call.
Use ?= instead to have it pick up the environment variable as well.

I'm surprised you need to pass it via an environment variable.

Applied, thanks
