Well, the culprit I've found seems to be that make runs the shell with the
option telling it to stop whenever a command returns nonzero status, but
unfortunately this is interpreted to apply to the argument to the if command
also! Since the result in this case is false, the `` exits abnormally, causing
make to exit abnormally. So far I've been just hand-evaluating these expressions
when they come up and manually typing in the resulting command, but I'd like
to know if anyone has any better workarounds or fixes (I haven't had much time
to spend on this myself).
