I disagree for a few reasons:
1. style.Makefile(9) makes no mention of having to use an idiom over the other.
2. The likelihood of typos creeping into Makefiles is greater with the _foo= 
idiom.
3. It creates unnecessary local variables — especially when appending is so 
easy to do.
4. It’s more difficult when backporting changes to do it with the variable 
method — especially if context around the line modified has changed a great 
deal.
