Krzysztof Nosek So, some bug with evaluating to '1 bottle' happened to me too... Solving it, I needed to add an extra function. Pity :-( but now works fine. Here're differences:

@@ -17,6 +17,8 @@
define chain
-$1: $2; # $$(subst 1 bottles,1 bottle,$$< bottles of beer on the wall, $$< bottles of beer.)
- # Take one down and pass it around, $$(patsubst 0,no more,$$@) bottles of beer on the wall.
+$1: $2; # $$(call beer,$2) on the wall, $$(call beer,$2).
+ # Take one down and pass it around, $$(call beer,$$(patsubst 0,no more,$1)) on the wall.

+beer = $(subst ~,,$(subst ~1 bottles,1 bottle,~$1 bottles of beer))
