Thanks, I found the typo myself not long after sending the
original email. But there is a patch for eval in savannah,
which is not in the 3.80 official release that was also
tripping me up. Debian/unstable has it (my home box), but the
RedHat machines I use at work need the patch for eval to work
properly.
This seems to me like an important enough of a fix to warrant
a new release of GNU make. Would you agree?
Thanks for your help and for such an excellent make feature.
Its a huge win to be able to write small, reusable, generic
rules.
