Looks good at first look.

":=" is almost always the right choice if this is not part of a rule somewhere.
With ":=" the rhs is only evaluated once and the result stored in the
variable on the lhs.

In this particular case you only use the lhs once - so there is no
real difference.

Another important difference is that with ":=" the rhs is evaluated when
make see it first time.
With "=" make defer it until the lhs is used.

again in you case there is no difference as you use the lhs just after
you have the assignment.
