The show-var target simply does

echo ${${VARNAME}:Q}

which AFAICT behaves as expected (current make on 7/amd64 and 7/i386)

Are you able to run that makefile with say

make -dv -V PATH

and save all the output (likely a lot ;-) you can send it to me.


FWIW I can reproduce the above by passing PATH=$$path on command line
but that should not be happening ;-)

Doing the same make -dv -V PATH that produces the expected result would
be useful too - for comparison
