I have an example and it's fairly simple.

subproject test/jam/limits ;
MY_A = a0 a1 a2 ; # a3 ;
MY_B = b0 b1 b2 ; # b3 ;
MY_AB = $(MY_A)$(MY_B) ;
MY_ABAB = $(MY_AB)$(MY_AB) ;
exe foo : test.c : <linkflags>"$(MY_ABAB)" ;

This generates a command line containing a0b0a0b0 up to a2b2a2b2
for the linkflags.

If you add "a3" and "b3" to the lists I get a command line which
contains strange garbage at the end of the link flags.
