'export suffix-y' does not work reliably because hyphens are disallowed
in shell variables.
A similar issue was fixed by commit 2bfbe78 ("kbuild: Do not use
hyphen in exported variable name").
If I do similar in dash, ARCH=sh fails to build.
$ mv linux linux~
$ cd linux~
$ dash
$ make O=foo/bar ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu- defconfig all
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/masahiro/linux~/foo/bar'

The maintainer of GNU Make stated that there is no consistent way to
export variables that do not meet the shell's naming criteria.

Consequently, you cannot use hyphens in exported variables.
