The definition is derived from pkg-config as discussed in: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210610155915.20a252d3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ The definition is computed using expr rather than passed to be computed in C code, this avoids complications with quote in the variable expansions. For example see the target python/perf.so in Makefile.perf.
