Are you sure you're using a new-enough version of GNU make?

To use eval you need GNU make 3.80.

  vj> COMMONSRC := a.c \
  vj>   xyz\b.c \
  vj>   pqr\abc\d.c

It's a very bad idea to use backslashes in filenames in make.  You
should always use forward slashes.  Most Windows programs will work with
both.
