I'm having problems building a program on Digital UNIX V4.0F, and it seems to boil down to the following observed behaviour on this platform. The results from issuing `make' with this makefile:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- FUBAR=$(shell echo fubar) all: @echo FUBAR = $(FUBAR) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- are: Version Result 3.78.1 FUBAR = fubar 3.79.1 FUBAR = fubar 3.80 FUBAR = 3.81a1 (CVS) FUBAR = whereas on alpha/Linux (and I guess other platforms), version 3.80 behaves the same as 3.78.1 and 3.79.1 above. Any help, pointers, or suggested workarounds appreciated.
