Is the :u behaves normal or not (a bug) in the make?

[Jeremy Messenger]

Hello all,

While I was working on add the :build/:run feature in the
bsd.gnome.mk. I got a bug where it will running some dependencies got
duplicate. Thanks to the make(1) that shows me the :u feature to get
rid of the duplicates. But it doesn't exactly help unless I use the :O
to get the words in order to make the :u works. I am not sure if it's
just limited on how it works (normal) or it's a bug. Here's an example
test:

-----------------------------
USE_TEST=	foo bar bar foobar foo
USE_TEST1=	foo bar bar foobar foo

test:
	@${ECHO_CMD} "USE_TEST: " ${USE_TEST:u}
	@${ECHO_CMD} "USE_TEST1: " ${USE_TEST1:O:u}
-----------------------------

Here's result:
-----------------------------
# make test
USE_TEST:  foo bar foobar foo
USE_TEST1:  bar foo foobar
-----------------------------

Thanks,
Mezz
