Current make fails with "Error expanding embedded variable" if founds $ in variable name, for example
ARCHITECTURE=$(shell arch="`if test -x /usr/bin/dpkg; \
then dpkg --print-architecture; else uname -m; fi`" \
&& if [ "$${arch%%i?86}"y = y ]; then arch=i386; fi \

Earlier versions does not have this this problem, i.e. can ignore such statements.
