You could generate your targets like this.  This achieves what I
believe you were attempting with your example.


Expected output:
% make
foo rules
poo rules


GNUmakefile:
target-prefixes := foo poo

.PHONY: all
all:

$(foreach c,$(target-prefixes), \
 $(eval $(c)bar: ; @echo $(c) rules) \
 $(eval all: $(c)bar) \
)
