112    - $(flavor ...) returns the flavor of a variable.
124    - Setting the SHELL make variable does NOT change the value of the
125      SHELL environment variable given to programs invoked by make.  As
126      an enhancement to POSIX, if you export the make variable SHELL then
170   tested, so it can be a constructed variable name.
172   Similarly, the arguments to "export" (when not used in a variable
176   function is the _name_ of a variable.  The result of the function is
177   the value of the variable, without having been expanded.

186 * A new built-in variable is defined, $(MAKEFILE_LIST).  It contains a
192 * A new built-in variable is defined: $(.VARIABLES).  When it is
193   expanded it returns a complete list of variable names defined by all
207 * The variable invoked by $(call ...) can now be recursive: unlike other
278   information for variable definitions, to aid debugging.
304 * Make defines a new variable, .LIBPATTERNS.  This variable controls how
345 * Implement BSD make's "?=" variable assignment operator.  The variable
346   is assigned the specified value only if that variable is not already
349 * Make defines a new variable, "CURDIR", to contain the current working
351   Modifying this variable has no effect on the operation of make.
363 * A new feature, "target-specific variable values", has been added.
402 * Make defines a new variable, `MAKECMDGOALS', to contain the goals that
403   were specified on the command line, if any.  Modifying this variable
475 * The `MAKEFLAGS' variable (in the environment or in a makefile) can now
476   contain variable definitions itself; these are treated just like
477   command-line variable definitions.  Make will automatically insert any
478   variable definitions from the environment value of `MAKEFLAGS' or from
480   `MAKEOVERRIDES' variable previously included in the value of `$(MAKE)'
489 * The automatic variable `$+' is new.  It lists all the dependencies like
540 * Make now gives an error for an unterminated variable or function reference.

580   whenever Make expands a reference to an undefined variable.
601 * Make now supports the `+=' syntax for a variable definition which appends
602   to the variable's previous value.  See the section `Appending More Text
