                 Summary: Pattern-specific variable assignment behaves
differently compared to normal variables
                 Project: make

       Component Version: 3.81
        Operating System: Any
           Fixed Release: None

    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Consider this makefile:

v := two

%.bar: var := one
%.bar: var += $(v)
%.bar: var += three

v :=

%.bar: ; @echo $(var)

all: foo.bar

When used with 3.81, it prints 'one three' while I would expect it to print
'one two three'. If I change pattern-specific to target-specific assignment,
it works as expected:

foo.bar: var := one
foo.bar: var += $(v)
foo.bar: var += three

The workaround for this problem is to use temporary variable:

tmp := one
tmp += $(v)
tmp += three

%.bar: var := $(tmp)
