Like Chris, if I run the makefile, exactly as shown, I get the "unterminated
call" error. However, if I modify the makefile to something that makes
sense, i.e.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OBJLST := $(shell echo \
xxx)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(note the backslash at the end of the first line), then I get the
"STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" error that Anshil cited. Was the missing backslash
perhaps a typo in the email? Without the backslash, the "unterminated call"
error seems appropriate. But with the backslash, the
"STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" error seems inappropriate -- perhaps that is the
'bug' that Anshil was trying to ask about.

I'm running make 3.79-3 on cygwin 1.1.2.

Are you running the latest version of make?  Mine gives the expected:

mkfile:1: *** unterminated call to function `shell': missing `)'.  Stop.

when I attempt to use your makefile fragment.
