We have our Make which doesnot support the above syntax " := ".
I have a Make file which contains the above syntax and when I try to
build using our Make utility it fails, while it works properly with
the GNU Make.
While investigating and trying to minimize the problem, I came accross
the above Syntax which is creating the problem. So I want to replace
the above syntax. I want to write a make file which would give me the
same functionality
that it gives with the above syntax.
