That can be read from the patch text.

If you are going to spend three lines, please describe why it has to
be split; that would help educate developers new to the codebase.

Thanks.

writing good commit messages is not easy.
and this was a good example for a bad example

Side questions:
Which shells of which OS/distribution do not understand export X=Y?

It seems Solaris /bin/sh doesn't like it. I don't have a Solaris to test it, but
this recent commit of gzip does this change because of Solaris:

Thanks a lot,
