On what basis did you conclude it was bash doing that, and not, say, make?

I believe for that to be a syntactically valid line in a Makefile would
take some more Makefile code on top of it.  If you don't show the actual
file you use (or a suitably trimmed, yet self-contained abstract of it),
you're making it impossibly hard for people to help you.

Same problem here.
