RE: please clarify the manual on foreach function?

>Well, I think you misunderstand what -j does.  All it does is allow make
to have multiple jobs (that is, sub-programs) active at the same time.

OK, thank you Paul for your answers.  I "think" I understand what is meant by 
multiple-jobs: multiple targets updated.  

But my particular problem was during the "first pass" of make, where no targets 
are updated yet.  During that time, I invoke "foreach" and from your first 
answer, it follows that it concatenates in order.  Are you also saying, that 
the first pass of make, is always serial, period?
