Confused by make's response

[Lee Shallis]

I've got these lines:

> $(info $(foreach src,$(CODIT_SRC),$(call
> PRINT_INC,$(CODIT__SRC_DIR)$(src),$(CODIT_T_DEP_DIR)/$(patsubst
> %.c,%.d,$(src)),$(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(src)))))
> $(eval PRINT_INCLUDES:=$(sort $(PRINT_INCLUDES)))
> $(info $(subst $(space),$(newline),$(foreach
> header,$(PRINT_INCLUDES),$(call HEADER_DEP,$(header)))))
>
That generate this output after being passed relevant information:

But when I remove the info containers like so:

> $(foreach src,$(CODIT_SRC),$(call
> PRINT_INC,$(CODIT__SRC_DIR)$(src),$(CODIT_T_DEP_DIR)/$(patsubst
> %.c,%.d,$(src)),$(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(src))))
> $(eval PRINT_INCLUDES:=$(sort $(PRINT_INCLUDES)))
> $(info $(subst $(space),$(newline),$(foreach
> header,$(PRINT_INCLUDES),$(call HEADER_DEP,$(header)))))
>

$(info $(foreach src,$(CODIT_SRC),$(call
> PRINT_INC,$(CODIT__SRC_DIR)$(src),$(CODIT_T_DEP_DIR)/$(patsubst
> %.c,%.d,$(src)),$(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(src)))))
> $(eval PRINT_INCLUDES:=$(sort $(PRINT_INCLUDES)))
> $(subst $(space),$(newline),$(foreach header,$(PRINT_INCLUDES),$(call
> HEADER_DEP,$(header))))
>
I get this instead:

> > Running command `%make% test`...
> GNUmakefile:133: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.
>

> Running command `%make% test`...

...(duplicate output omitted)
> GNUmakefile:135: *** target pattern contains no '%'.  Stop.

As you can see by the output of the info containers it does not seem like I
should be getting these errors, could someone enlighten me as what I'm
doing wrong as I do not see the fault.
