Boris is correct about "|" appearing in a prerequisites list but you
don't appear to be using it that way in the example makefile you
provide... maybe you are doing so later on?

  sc> define SECTION_7_MODULE_ACCUMULATE_BLOCK
  sc> # $(1) = dira/dirb (parent directory)
  sc> # $(2) = dira/dirb/dirc (this directory)
  sc> # accumulators
  sc> $$(foreach platform,$(PLATFORMS),$(2)|ALL_CFILES_$$(platform) := 
  sc> $$(_LOCAL_CFILES_$$(platform)) $$($(2)|ALL_CFILES_$$(platform)))
  sc> endef

This by itself looks fine to me.  I think it all depends on how you're
using this variable.  Can you provide a _complete_, but small, makefile
and example of what it's doing that you don't think it should be?
