case 1:
Makefile :

define EXELNK1
$(1): OBJ1=xOBJ1
$(1): OBJ2=xOBJ2
endef
$(call EXELNK1, utl1)
utl1:;@echo "jfh1:pt1:$(OBJ1):$(OBJ2):"

case 2:
Makefile:

define EXELNK1
$(1): OBJ1=xOBJ1
endef
$(call EXELNK1, utl1)
utl1:;@echo "jfh1:pt1:$(OBJ1):$(OBJ2):"

result of invoking make : works as expected


case 3:
Makefile:

define EXELNK1
$(1): OBJ2=xOBJ2
