Backticks (``) are a shell construct.  This is a makefile.

If you want to run a shell command, you'll have to use the GNU make
$(shell ...) function.

Also, I recommend using simply-expanded variables(:= not =) with $(shell
...) functions, so that they're only invoked once no matter how many
times the variable is used.
