They are definitely too tricky.

One thing that can help is to use the $(warning ...) and/or $(value ...)
functions to see what the "initial" resolution of the call is, before
eval gets it.  Basically you just change the eval to a warning, then
make will print the results of the call so you can see what is being
eval'd.


Just a little debugging trick...
