Scratch that, I was mistaken by the test case. I restricted the test case to GNU make when I discovered it was failing with Solaris make. But $$ works fine with other make implementations such as BSD make and Tru64 make. Maybe that is another argument in favor of a way to disable second-expansion? I really think this is the best solution so far. It sounds simple to me because it is localized (just "don't run the second expansion in make", as opposed to "edit every single rule that other tools like Automake output or that people write"), and it's generally useful (allowing to write Makefiles that are portable to the aforementioned make implementations). -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
