Details:
I was attempting to learn how to use multi-line variables for functions, when
I ran into a problem. The same function written as a single line (with ';'
between the commands) would work, but when written as a multi-line variable
using 'define' it would not.
I was following the example given at
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Multi_002dLine
Which indicated to do something like
define variable =
echo line1
echo line2
endef
However this would only work if I removed the '='.
I wanted to point this out in case the documentation was in error in
indicating to use a '='.
