>Description:

	The make(1) construct ``.for VAR in ${ARGS}'' iterates
	from the last field in ${ARGS} to the first, instead of
	the other way around (as specified in the man page).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Create the following makefile and run make:

		ORIG=	a b c

		.for VAR in ${ORIG}
		LIST+=	${VAR}
		.endfor

		default:
			@echo ${LIST}

>Fix:

	Unknown
