loop to create variables, foreach?

[Anton Deguet]

Hello,

I want to build multiple lists of files based on the same string 
substitution using some kind of loop.  I tried something with foreach, 
that is:

libs = lib1 lib2

lib1_cfiles_prefix = file1 file2 file3
lib2_cfiles_prefix = fichier1 fichier2 fichier3

now I want to build some object lists called lib1_obj, lib2_obj, etc... 
which would contain:

lib1_obj = my_bin_dir/file1.o my_bin_dir/file2.o my_bin_dir/file3.o
lib2_obj = my_bin_dir/fichier1.o my_bin_dir/fichier2.o  ...

So I tried this:
FOO:= $(foreach lib, $libs, 
$(lib)_obj=$($(lib)_cfiles_prefix:%=my_bin_dir/%.o))

In FOO, I got something pretty close if I do "echo $(FOO)" but it's a 
string, not a set of variables.  Can I force some kind of evaluation to 
set the variable during the iteration of the foreach?

Any other solution/suggestion is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Anton
