Sigh. Thanks for reporting it. Though Rebmake is nightmare fuel. Explanation of how it got that way:

https://forum.rebol.info/t/new-build-executables-new-build-strategy/1432

The upside of it has been that since it is a sprawling codebase written by someone else that has to be kept working, it's taught a lot of lessons about what's needed. Unintentional splicing ran wild, and it was way too easy to wind up appending #[none] (blank) to places it shouldn't be that it drove the design for NULL (and none as the "new #[unset]", e.g. ~).

Anyway... that --help code was a noble effort grafted on by Giulio. In the spirit of "there's something to learn by keeping it working" I've patched it and added a call to help in the CI to test it... running --help and --help all
