Details:

To reproduce:

$ echo -e 'all:\n\techo $(value MAKEFILE_LIST)' > /tmp/foo\$bar.mk
$ ./make -f '/tmp/foo$bar.mk'
echo  /tmp/fooar.mk
/tmp/fooar.mk

I think this is inconsistent and contradicts the documentation, which states
"MAKEFILE_LIST Contains the name of each makefile that is parsed by make, in
the order in which it was parsed."
