For debugging it, you might be able to get something useful like this:
> COMPONENT_NAME = $(shell basename `pwd | tee i-was-here-.txt`)
Which should at least tell you exactly how it's getting invoked. Or you
could try
> COMPONENT_NAME = $(shell echo basename `pwd` > command-was-this.txt &&
basename `pwd`)
..or any number of similar variants.
