[bug #27714] expansion of $(shell) in target forces serialization of targets

[Paul D. Smith]

Update of bug #27714 (project make):

                  Status:                    None => Wont Fix               
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #10:

I'm going to close this as "won't fix" because I don't see any reasonable way
to implement it that doesn't involve massive changes to the way make works,
and I don't think the capability to have "parallel function expansion" is
worth the effort.

If you want to invoke shell commands in a recipe you don't have to run
$(shell ...)... the _recipe itself_ is run by the shell so why use the shell
function?  Just put the commands that the shell function would run directly
into the recipe.  Then they will be passed to the subshell and run in parallel
just like the rest of the command script.
