Details:

HaloO,

with the attached Makefile and its tree of included files
I have the effect that the target testvar in the Makefile
receives the setting of LINK_LIBS from the target
lib/libOPSCarchretrhook.$(SL) in programs/retriever/rules.mk.
I expect it to be empty instead.

The how to repeat is by issuing 'make testvar' from the
top of the provided tree. This happens with make version
3.80 and 3.81 from RedHat Enterprise Linux versions 4 and
5 respectively.

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem in a simple setting.

Regards, TSa.
