--- Comment #3 from Mathieu Arnold <mat at FreeBSD.org> ---
Yes, while make(1) is ok with variable names having quite a lot of strange
characters, this is a limitation of sh, where a variable name can't include a
dash.
It would be possible to fix this with silently replacing dashes with, say,
underscores, but it would complicate the code a bit, and have the level of WTF
while debugging go quite higher.
I'll try to see if I can error out when *_SITES groups contains characters
other than [a-zA-Z0-9_]
