This is the code from the failing Makefile: ######################################### # (5) Execute "global" rules. (OPTIONAL) ######################################### include $(CORE_DEPTH)/coreconf/rules.mk ... include ../platrules.mk SRCDIR = $(call abspath,.) %.chk: %.$(DLL_SUFFIX) ifeq ($(OS_TARGET), OS2) cd $(OBJDIR) ; cmd.exe /c $(SRCDIR)/sign.cmd $(DIST) \ $(call abspath,$(OBJDIR)) $(OS_TARGET) \ $(call abspath,$(NSPR_LIB_DIR)) $(call abspath,$<) else cd $(OBJDIR) ; sh $(SRCDIR)/sign.sh $(call abspath,$(DIST)) \ $(call abspath,$(OBJDIR)) $(OS_TARGET) $(call abspath,$(NSPR_LIB_DIR)) $(call abspath,$<) endif libs install :: $(CHECKLOC) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- and rules.mk contains this code: ifeq (,$(filter-out OS2 AIX,$(OS_TARGET))) # OS/2 and AIX NEED_ABSOLUTE_PATH := 1 PWD := $(shell pwd) else # Windows ifeq (,$(filter-out _WIN%,$(NS_USE_GCC)_$(OS_TARGET))) NEED_ABSOLUTE_PATH := 1 PWD := $(shell pwd) ifeq (,$(findstring ;,$(PATH))) ifndef USE_MSYS PWD := $(subst \,/,$(shell cygpath -w $(PWD))) endif endif else # everything else PWD := $(shell pwd) endif endif abspath = $(if $(findstring :,$(1)),$(1),$(if $(filter /%,$(1)),$(1),$(PWD)/$(1)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The $call abspath ends up calling the built-in abspath and does not use the one defined in rules.mk. This was verified both by adding fprintf's to the built-in abspath as well as the fact that I was able to fix my issue by making changes to the abspath funciton defined in function.c. So, if you are saying that $abspath( is the only way to invoke the built-in function, and $(call abaspath is suppsoed to invoke a user defined funtion, that is NOT what is happening.
