I think this is a cached value
for frequently referenced environment variable
such as $(CC), $(srctree).

The expanded text is always freed when done.
This simplifies the implementation.


If X is defined as

   X = $(shell echo ABC)

The result of $(X) is an allocated string, which must be freed later.

If X is an environment variable, we could handle it as a read-only string,
but we are not allowed to free it.

If we do not do strdup(), we need to remember where it came from.
