Hi,

        Trying the second reproduction  recipe with make 4.0 seems to
 indicate thi problem has gone away:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
__> make VAR=q all
echo q
q
__> make VAR=q all
echo q
q
__> make VAR=q all
echo q
q
__> make VAR=q all
echo q
q
__> cat makefile

test: VAR?=*
all:
        echo $(VAR)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
        manoj
