Since you do not show the actual addition, I'm having to just guess
that you omitted the "=" that defines the name in src.conf notation
(i.e., makefile notation):

WITHOUT_CLEAN=

not:

WITHOUT_CLEAN

(I see that "man src.conf" and man "make.conf" give no examples of
actual, complete (short) makefile notation to prompt the inclusion
of the "=". "The src.conf file uses the standard makefile syntax."
And: "The file make.conf uses the standard makefile syntax.")

I used the lack of an "=" in that ". . ." as my
potential evidence for my guess.
