How do you echo a shell variable reference

I am trying to echo:
   echo 'exit $status' >> file

from the Makefile generated by Makefile.am. What I get is:
   echo 'exit $status' >> file

in the Makefile, which is correct, but in execution (make check) I get
   exit tatus

in file. I have tried variations of $status to no avail. Any idea how I can
get the correct result in file?
