Yes, there seems to be a hard to reproduce error in variable expansion
in gnu make 3.82. I gitified the gnu make cvs and created the attached
script for bisecting. However, I am not even sure I cant trigger the
error with that. One run of gnu make test on my tree takes ~40 secs, so
100 runs are ~1 hours. There are 115 revisions between 3.81 and 3.82 so
it should take about 7 hours (if the test is reliable) to find the
offending change. From that I hope it would be rather easy.

Best,

Bjoern
