Details

Consider installing/using the GNU Make Standard Library: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmsl Being able to replace: val = $(shell echo $(var) | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') with builtin library string functions: val = $(call tr,$('[A-Z]'),$('[a-z]'),$(var)) Savings on shell overhead from tr calls alone would be worth the overhead of including another library.
Moving away from make usage so no need to install a std set of library functions.
