D3992 ended up masking this error message. Since the custom error message is more informative, I decided to move set -u instead of removing the message entirely. Not having set -u set after simple error messages like this should have negligible effect.

This whole approach do not seem to make a lot of sense. The build build_names are not composable in any way, and as it is mandatory, it seems like it should be a parameters rather than an environment variable.
In any case, you can avoid the -u dance by conditionally setting the variable to an empty string and testing against this.

Good point on the composability aspect. I started to notice issues arising from the current design while working on D4213. It's more clear to me now that a composable design would make it more robust in addition to providing the caller with more customization of the build.
