Makefile parametrisation

[hendrik]

I'd like to define a symbol ARCH in my Makefile to be the output of
        uname -m

The obvious thing, just starting with

ARCH = `uname -m`

didn't seem to work.  It defined ARCH to be `uname -m' instead of
i686 or x86_64.  Not unreasonable, but What *is* the way to do this?
