A quick update: This bug does not occur with NetBSD make. I spent a couple of hours diffing the sources (there are a lot more differences than I expected) to see if there was any one small patch that would make things work for FreeBSD, but I wasn't successful. There are many patches in NetBSD make that deal specifically with '$', but apparently just adding these is not sufficient. I would need to get below this superficial view to see what's going on. There is a person with login name "will" who made a CVS log entry that says: Assume MAINTAINER. I will be taking the job of merging NetBSD/OpenBSD improvements (including :C & :L, among others). After that, I'll be coming up with other ways to improve make(1). If he is still the make maintainer for FreeBSD, can someone give me a full email address for him?
