It looks odd to me with variables embedded in that string. Are you sure
you shouldn't more properly have had that variable expanded at build
time?

Perhaps you passsed a longer string single-quoted rather than
double-quoted, causing the variable within to not get expanded by the
shell, but only within each make rule?


I'll leave the bug open to see if others hit same same problem (so,
all you out there reading this and nodding: please drop a note to this
bugreport!).

But really I don't like to accept dollar within config strings unless
indeed it is sane to do so.
