if the environment variable is set on the command line of the program as
written (not separate commands like it sounds like you did) it should work fine.

SBBSEXEC=/sbbs/exec make symlinks

all as one, would mean like: "during execution of make, the variable SBBSEXEC is .."

export as you figured out sets the env variable for as long as the session is running (or it's explicitely removed)
