That's using $(eval) which means it'll exclude people on GNU Make 3.79.1 
or earlier.  It's possible to write the some function without $(eval) 
like this:

uniq = $(if $1,$(call uniq,$(call chop,$1)) $(if $(filter $(call 
last,$1),$(call chop,$1)),,$(call last,$1)))

(I used the chop and last functions from my GNU Make Standard Library, 
http://gmsl.sf.net/ so you need to get that and include gmsl to make 
that uniq function work).

Since this seems like it might be generally useful to people I've 
checked it into the GMSL CVS repository with tests and it'll be in the 
next release (whenever that is).

John.
