another make(1) .for loop problem

[Jukka Salmi <j+nbsd%2009.salmi.ch@localhost>]

Hello,

on a 5.99.5 system with make(1) built from todays soures, the attached
makefile fails:

$ make
testing VAR0: not defined
*** Error code 1
[...]

With older make(1) this used to work fine:

$ make.old
testing VAR0: ok
testing VAR1: ok

Am I abusing make(1) or is this a bug?


Regards, Jukka
