***BOGO*** [Mingw-msys] what's wrong with $(value ...) ?

["zou guangxian" <trueweck@xxxxxxx>]

The environment is :
$ sh --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.0(1)-release (i686-pc-msys)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

zgx@89C9EB885F03470 /u/project/weplay/client/trunk/3rd
$ make --version
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i686-pc-msys

*******************
TEST ONE:  examine $(value ...)
<CODE>
.PHONY: foo bar
DUMMY = 'dummy'
foo : 
	echo $(value DUMMY)	
</CODE>

'make foo' can work under Debian with GNU Make 3.81, and will output 'dummy'.

but will output nothing.
<OUTPUT>
zgx@89C9EB885F03470 /u/project/weplay/client/trunk/3rd
$ make foo
echo

</OUTPUT>

Thanks
