OS: MACH 2.5 (a 4.3 "derivative")
HARDWARE: VAX 11/785
VERSION: GNUMake 3.57

BUG: $(shell ...) doesn't work as advertised in the manual.
  according to the manual, the output of the executed command is
  returned, except that carriage-return/linefeeds are replaced by
  a single space.  When I tried using $(shell ...) with a command
  that returned multiple lines the only value returned was that
  on the last line.  The rest of the output was lost.  When I added
  my own filter to remove newlines using an awk script at the end
  of the pipe, it worked.
