# Build System Changes for Android.mk Writers
+## Rules executed within limited environment
+
+With `ALLOW_NINJA_ENV=false` (soon to be the default), ninja, and all the
+rules/actions executed within it will only have access to a limited number of
+environment variables. Ninja does not track when environment variables change
+in order to trigger rebuilds, so changing behavior based on arbitrary variables
+is not safe with incremental builds.
+
+Kati and Soong can safely use environment variables, so the expectation is that
+you'd embed any environment variables that you need to use within the command
+line generated by those tools. See the [export section](#export_keyword) below
+for examples.
+
+For a temporary workaround, you can set `ALLOW_NINJA_ENV=true` in your
+environment to restore the previous behavior, or set
+`BUILD_BROKEN_NINJA_USES_ENV_VAR := <var> <var2> ...` in your `BoardConfig.mk`
+to allow specific variables to be passed through until you've fixed the rules.
