The shell code you're embedding in the makefile uses $${gfunc/F/} which is 
a bash-specific feature.  Makefile shell code is run with /bin/sh; you can 
only rely on POSIX shell features.  dash does not support this non-POSIX 
feature.

This patch has not addressed my point that the comment about LDBL_EPSILON 
for IBM long double should refer to both underflows and overflows.
