And it defines FOO to the string "-DBAR", because you explicitly asked
for that!

It is also fine if you do

FLAG="-DFOO -DBAR" ; gcc $FLAG -o test test.c

(because word splitting is done when the substitution is done).


What is the actual command that causes the problem?  It isn't clear
to me from your mail.
