Follow-up Comment #3, bug #18335 (project make):
My intention was to leave the math functions to the Guile integration. I'm
open to discussion on this point.
If we do decide to create a built-in math section for GNU make, I wouldn't
want to see it using the kind of Lisp-like syntax described by Dave. While I
do agree that might be more consistent with make function style, I think it's
unnecessarily complicated for the user to have to write it out like that. I
would prefer to see a new function $(expr ...) that takes a math expression
and evaluates to the result of the expression... similar to the way the
expr(1) program works in the shell.
