I am sure I am not using 3.8.
If I cannot upgrade then what are my options other than explicitly
mentioning all the expandable constructs ? If there is a patch for eval
for the version I am using then I might be able to use the patch but for
sure cannot upgrade at this time.
The version I am using is:
GNU Make version 3.79.1 (Symbian build 004), by Richard Stallman and
Roland McGrath.
Built for Windows32

Are you sure you're using a new-enough version of GNU make?
To use eval you need GNU make 3.80.

It's a very bad idea to use backslashes in filenames in make. You
should always use forward slashes. Most Windows programs will work with
both.
