                 Summary: target specific variables with conditional
assignments
                 Project: make

        Operating System: Any
           Fixed Release: None

    _______________________________________________________

Details:

If a target-specific conditional variable assignment is used, it
unconditionally overrides any inherited target-specific variable. Try the
following Makefile with and without the first line. The command is always run
with the argument 'two'.

all: TARGET = one
all: lib

lib: TARGET ?= two
lib:
        make -f second.mk $(TARGET)


The bug might arguably be that the target-specific variable is being
inherited at all though that's actually a useful feature for me. I can get
this Makefile to work as I want by using $(or $(TARGET),two).

Oliver
