'export suffix-y' does not work reliably because hyphens are disallowed
in shell variables.
A similar issue was fixed by commit 2bfbe7881e ("kbuild: Do not use
hyphen in exported variable name").
If I do similar in dash, ARCH=sh fails to build.
$ mv linux linux~
$ cd linux~
$ dash
$ make O=foo/bar ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu- defconfig all
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/masahiro/linux~/foo/bar'
[ snip ]
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/sh/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.', needed by 'arch/sh/boot/compressed/piggy.o'. Stop.

The maintainer of GNU Make stated that there is no consistent way to
export variables that do not meet the shell's naming criteria.

Consequently, you cannot use hyphens in exported variables.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
