make expands $() regardless of whether it is inside quotes or not.
make doesn't do much parsing, after expansion the command is passed
to sh:

$ cat Makefile 
X:=bar

.PHONY: x
x:
	@echo "foo $(X) baz"
$ strace -fF make 2>&1 | grep echo
read(3, "X:=bar\n\n.PHONY: x\nx:\n\t at echo \"foo "..., 4096) = 43
[pid 29660] execve("/bin/sh", ["/bin/sh", "-c", "echo \"foo bar baz\""], [/* 51 vars */]) = 0

Better keep it inside the quotes, so that weird names will not mess
up the shell, if we'll ever have any names like that.
