The issue is present both in all of make 3.81, make 3.82 and make
built from latest Git. Here is a script that demonstrates it:
$ cat foo.bash
#!/bin/bash
cat > GNUmakefile <<'END'
all := 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
default: $(all)
$(all):
@sleep 0.$$(($RANDOM % 10)); echo $@
END

This syntax is not available in GNU make 3.81. It was introduced in GNU
make 3.82. Thus the "PROGRAM_template" variable is not defined, and
expands to the empty string, and thus your eval does nothing.

I took the example from the documentation:
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Eval-Function.html#Eval-Function
$ make --version
GNU Make 3.81
