>Originator:     Archie Cobbs
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Whistle Communications, Inc.
>Environment:

	Happens in 3.x-stable and 4.x-current.

>Description:

	Make is incorrectly executing a shell command. Consider this
	makefile:

	foo1:
		var1=yes; test "$$var1" = "no" && var2=". $$var2"; echo OK

	The makefile should exit successfully, yet instead it bombs out.
	Removing the "var1=yes" should have no effect, but that seems
	to fix it (see foo2 below).

>How-To-Repeat:

	$ cat makefile
	foo1:
		var1=yes; test "$$var1" = "no" && var2=". $$var2"; echo OK
	foo2:
		test "$$var1" = "no" && var2=". $$var2"; echo OK
	$ make foo1
	var1=yes; test "$var1" = "no" && var2=". $var2"; echo OK
	*** Error code 1

	Stop.
	$ make foo2
	test "$var1" = "no" && var2=". $var2"; echo OK
	OK

>Fix:

	Uknown.
