Thank you for the suggestion.  I had thought of that already as a possible
workaround; essentially giving every variable a unique name so that when
the rule evaluates and the variable is substituted, there can be no
'overwriting' of variables causing any problems.

I was hoping to avoid this though as what you suggest makes the makefile
fragments just a little bit messier to write; not much messier but just a
tiny bit.  But without any other workaround, what you suggest is I think a
good alternative.

Thank you, and best wishes,
Bryan
