Ah right. That's a bug that was fixed since 3.82 was released. Works
now in the current latest sources:
$ cat Makefile
.SECONDEXPANSION:
all: $$(shell echo prereq\;)
@echo hi
$ ~/src/make/make-rel/make
make: *** No rule to make target `prereq', needed by `all'. Stop.
But Philip's solution works as well as you point out.
