So, one option is if there was a way to activate jobs mode for a set of 
commands, as that configures make to run the shell scripts from 
temporary files rather than exec'ing directly.

For example:

  pkgsrc-nb0# cat Makefile 
  FOO!=	find /data/distfiles -type f
  all:
	@${FOO:@f@ echo ${f};@}

doesn't work in normal mode:

  pkgsrc-nb0# make
  make: exec(/bin/sh) failed (Argument list too long)
  *** Error code 1

but works fine in jobs mode:

  pkgsrc-nb0# make -j1
  /data/distfiles/flac-1.4.3.tar.xz
  /data/distfiles/re2c-3.1.tar.xz
  [...]

Is there an existing way to do this that I'm not seeing in the man page 
that might help us here without having to modify make?
