    No it doesn't. If it did, it idiomatic rules such as

    binary: $(OBJS)
            $(CC) -o $< $(OBJS)

    would not work.

    It is even easy to check this:

    pc-043:~/foo$ cat Makefile
    foo = a b
    bar:
            ./echonum $(foo) stop
    pc-043:~/foo$ cat echonum
    #! /bin/sh
    while true ; do
      echo $1
      [ "$1" = stop ] && exit 0 ;
      shift
    done
    pc-043:~/foo$ gmake bar
    ./echonum a b stop
    a
    b
    stop
    pc-043:~/foo$ gmake --version
