in Makefile.am, Makefile.in, Makefile

the lines doing

grep -h '^DEFINE_TEST(' $^ | LC_COLLATE=C sort > $@

seem to hang on my debian pkgsrc setup.  the $^ doesn’t
expand to anything causing grep to read from stdin forever.

the up stream changes to the Makefile.am happened in nov 2025
and showed up in pkgsrc-2026Q1.  is this a bmake on linux issue?
