Update of bug #40801 (project make):
Status: None => Not A Bug
Open/Closed: Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:
This isn't a bug, IMO. The call function is not evaluating its argument as if
it were makefile syntax. It's simply expanding the contents of the variable
just as referencing it with $(def) would, and variable values are not parsed
for comments (or other special characters, besides "$").
If you want to interpret the contents of the variable as if it were a makefile
snippet you should use the eval function instead; this:
define def
# $(error not an error anymore)
endef
$(eval $(value def))
all:
won't fail.
