Yes, that was it. Thanks.

But only when the index file was generated did I undestand that
the command "make index" does not respect environment. I expected
that if I define OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 then a generated
index file would be affected. I was wrong...

Is there any possibility to generate an index file which respects
environment variables, non standard OPTIONS, etc?
