This one I can answer: the "make variables" are those $FOO thingies.
They get substituted by make when interpreting the make file. The
"substituted values" are those @FOO@ thingies. They live in Makefile.in
(actually in other foo.in files as well) and get textually substituted
(the AC_OUTPUT macro controls which files to transform), making e.g.
a Makefile out of a Makefile.in

Something must have gone wrong then. This shouldn't be seen in Makefile,
only in Makefile.in (the template from which Makefile is generated).
