Subject: [9fans] mk delayed evaluation
Topicbox-Message-UUID: da53fd1e-ead0-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

i'm not finding it in docs. i want to delay the evaluation of $stem
in a variable until the rule is applied; how is that done?

example:

CFLAGS=-Zi -Fb $stem.PDB	# yes, funky MS flags

%.$O:	%.c
	$CC $CFLAGS $stem.c
