Extra checks for PERL_PATH and SHELL_PATH?

Hi,
The top-level Makefile currently contains
Show 6 quoted lines
> ifndef SHELL_PATH
> 	SHELL_PATH = /bin/sh
> endif
> ifndef PERL_PATH
> 	PERL_PATH = /usr/bin/perl
> endif

The checks are only necessary if these variables need to be overridden by environment variables, not just via the make command line. Is this the case?
