That's a GNU make-ism.  We agreed a while back to allow GNU make
features in our makefiles.  I don't remember typing that in
specifically, but its probably mine.  Anyway, for sure, it is an
example of a GNU make pattern expansion.  I'm gonna guess that your
make is treating the % as a literal, and finding none in the
STATIC)DRIVERS macro, it simply makes no change.  Hmm, no, that
doesn't explain your symptom.  

I dunno, are you using GNU make?  If so, what version?
