Re: Bug in $(call ...) ?

[Alexey Neyman]

Well, I'll use it, thanks. However, it seems that it's actually a 
workaround. Perhaps this Makefile will illustrate better what I mean:

<<<<
X = echo
A = $($(1)) $$(1) $$(2)
B := $(call A,X)
C = echo $(1) $(2)

$(warning "$(value B)")
$(warning "$(value C)")

all:
        @echo '[$(call B,hi,lo)]'
        @echo '[$(call C,hi,lo)]'
>>>>

Note that the $(warning)s show that the values of B and C are the 
same. Yet, the results of echo differ:

Makefile:6: "echo $(1) $(2)"
Makefile:7: "echo $(1) $(2)"
[echo $(1) $(2)]
[echo hi lo]
