Any non-empty value works.

But you'll also need to "export XAPIAN_PREFER_FLINT" so that the shell
passes the value to subprocesses.

Alternatively you can explicitly write the call to omindex like so:

XAPIAN_PREFER_FLINT=1 /usr/local/bin/omindex [...]

Then the variable is only set for omindex and you don't need to use
export.
