Yes, it works just fine.  I have had commits e665d4eaba and prior
installed on my machine for some time now and have used them without
any problems.

Sorry for the confusing bug report.  Of course -- everything is ran by
make and the variables are interpolated as usual.  I simply
``reverted'' the interpolation so as to not litter the report with
useless paths.

See above.
