I am glad you agree with me ;-). To be precise, however, I must say that the snippet you cited does not apply here since it is talking about rule definition while I was talking about target specific variable definition. I don't think there is a part in the manual that specifies at what point target-specific variables get expanded so it is in some sense an implementation-defined behavior which, I must say, gets very tricky when it comes to target-specific variable inheritance, +=, etc. I think immediate evaluation is less surprising, though. -boris
