I'm not sure but it could be an order of operations thing here. If the
filelist is defined outside of any target it could be trying to expand prop2
before the target where it is defined is executed. I would suggest defining
the filelist in the target where prop2 is defined or in another target
executed after the target defining prop2. You didn't say but I'm guessing
that prop1 is defined outside of any target. Then again I could be completely
wrong on this. Those properties might get defined when the filelist is
instantiated (used or referenced in the build). In that case I would make
sure prop2 is defined before the filelist is instantiated.
