Synopsis: Make fails to correctly substitute "Automatic Variable $"

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: steve
State-Changed-When: Sun Jan 11 15:57:41 PST 1998
State-Changed-Why: 
Posix 1003.2 says that $< shall only be evaluated in the
.DEFAULT rule and inference (suffix) rules.  make(1) does
the correct thing in your example by evaluating $< to an
empty string because this is a target rule.
