Why do you have to check if the directory exists?  If it doesn't exist
the wildcard will evaluate to the empty string.

As part of the build flow  the copy in the PVCS get copied to the
SOURCE_TREE.  When no edits have been done then they would be identical.

PVCS?  Really?  Ouch.

So, don't include both.  That's what the firstword is for in my example.

Using "*" like this is going to be an issue of course... I don't see how
you're relating a path like this:

    $(TOP_DIR)/SOURCE_TREE/*/make.include

with one like this:

    $(PVCS_DIR)/static_makefiles/*.make.include

...???
