It's a common pattern in our Makefile to echo some make
variables into a file, but only if they are different from a
previous run. This sentinel file can then be used as a
dependency to trigger rebuilds when the make variable
changes.
The code to do this is a bit ugly and repetetive; let's
factor it out into a reusable function.
Note that this relies on the "call" and "eval" functions of
GNU make. We previously avoided using "call", as explained
in 39c015c (Fixes for ancient versions of GNU make,
2006-02-18). However, it has been 8 years since then, so
perhaps its use is acceptable now.
The "call" function dates back to GNU make 3.77.90
(1997-07-21). The "eval" function dates back to 3.80
(2002-07-08).
If it's still a problem to use these functions, we can
do similar meta-programming with something like:
include magic.mak
magic.mak:
./generate-magic-rules >$@+
mv $@+ $@
where the rules are generated by a shell (or other) script.
