No it doesn't. If it did, it idiomatic rules such as binary: $(OBJS) $(CC) -o $< $(OBJS) would not work. It is even easy to check this: pc-043:~/foo$ cat Makefile foo = a b bar: ./echonum $(foo) stop pc-043:~/foo$ cat echonum #! /bin/sh while true ; do echo $1 [ "$1" = stop ] && exit 0 ; shift done pc-043:~/foo$ gmake bar ./echonum a b stop a b stop pc-043:~/foo$ gmake --version GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
