Follow-up Comment #3, bug #67265 (group make):

1. The point of the bug report is that $(file) *should be* processed later
than other $(...) constructs.  Having said that, it would probably be
sufficient, and perhaps a less invasive change, to do $(...) expansion of
*each line of a command list*  independently, after execution of the previous
line.

2. I am already aware of several alternative ways to do the same operation
that would avoid the bug.  The existence of those alternatives does not mean
the current behavior of $(file) isn't a bug.
