Confirmed.  Ouch.  It was simply an error to assume that with this:

.c.o:
        # ...
        $(variable) \
        # commented-out stuff
        # ...
        compile command ...

$(variable) would still be expanded in the same line as the compile
command.  D'oh.

Thank you for the bug report and test case!  Still working on a fix.

Cheers,
Ralf
