Ah, that's because I used $(origin) to avoid expanding the variable.
To *exactly* mimic ifndef, use this:
missing = $(foreach var,${required},$(if $(value ${var}),,${var})
Given these:
empty=
nothing=${empty}
that'll report 'empty' as missing but *won't* report 'nothing' as
missing, just like the ifndef test would.
If you want to treat both 'empty' and 'nothing' as missing, then use this:
missing = $(foreach var,${required},$(if ${${var}},,${var})
(Note that the $(value) function used by the version at top was added
in GNU make 3.80)
