Doesn't make evaluate it properly, without 'eval'?
# Makefile begins #
DIR_i386=/somedir
DIR_sparc64=/someotherdir
.PHONY: all
all:
@echo 'DIR_$$(ARCH)'=DIR_$(ARCH)
@echo '$$(DIR_$$(ARCH))'=$(DIR_$(ARCH))
cd $(DIR_$(ARCH))
# Makefile ends #
C:/tmp[0]$make -f Makefile
DIR_$(ARCH)=DIR_i386
$(DIR_$(ARCH))=/somedir
cd /somedir
