Looks fine to me.

Although overall, I don't understand why someone used so many := assignments.
I usually reserve := for special assignments that require a shell or complex 
evaluation.
The := forces an expansion of the right side on the spot, so any later changes 
to the
variables used on the right will have no impact on your variable. In Makefiles, 
that's
usually what you don't want, but I suppose there are cases where that is 
expected.
By using := all the time, you have created a specific order dependency on the 
variables, but
whatever, ...
