The $(value ...) is needless; $(MAKEFILE_LIST) exhibits the same. The problem is that, where make adds a file-name to MAKEFILE_LIST, it needs to escape any special characters in the file-name, in this case s/\$/$$/g. I wonder whether it handles spaces in file-names ? I'll hazard a guess that a double-space shall end up single ...
