No, I don't agree that this is a limitation of Make. Make just
invokes the shell built-in, and the shell built-in behaves like it
does from the command line.
I remain unconvinced that we should ``fix'' this just because this
fundamental incompatibility between shells sometimes causes trouble in
Makefiles that assume Posix `echo' where it isn't guaranteed to exist.
