But here VAR2 should be "foo"!!!! As VAR=foo, the ifeq then-branch
should set it to foo, but it goes into the else branch - which I think
it shouldn't do.

No, it is different. I definitely want the sub-make because I want too
runs with VAR substituted to foo in the first run and to bar in the
second. As you can see the VAR variable picks up the right value
(do-echo outputs foo and then bar) but the ifeq does not pick up the
value, basically the ifeq(foo,foo) goes into the else branch.
