I would like the static rule

lib/Eth.so lib/IP.so: lib/%.so: $(%_objects)

to expand the $(Eth_objects) and $(IP_objects) variables in computing
the dependency lists for the two share libraries.  Instead, it seems
to leave the variable reference as $(%_objects), which expands to an
empty string.

This seems to indicate a grevious lack of generality in the rules
regarding the expansion of static rule dependency lists.  Is my desire
legitimate, or are there Make issues of which I am not aware that
preclude the kind of evaluation I desire?  Are there other ways to
implement the above that I have not thought of?

Thanks,
