With GNU make 4.4, the number of execution of the command present in
these $(shell ) increased greatly. This is probably because as of make
4.4, exported variable are also added to the environment of $(shell )
construct.

Also, `make -d` shows a lot of these:
    Makefile:15: not recursively expanding XEN_BUILD_DATE to export to shell 
function
    Makefile:16: not recursively expanding XEN_BUILD_TIME to export to shell 
function
    Makefile:17: not recursively expanding XEN_BUILD_HOST to export to shell 
function
    Makefile:14: not recursively expanding XEN_DOMAIN to export to shell 
function

So to avoid having these command been run more than necessary, we
will replace ?= by an equivalent but with immediate expansion.

Notes:
    v3:
    - replace evaluation on first use construct by immediate expansion which
      isn't likely to break and is clearer.
