If you use these characters in the command line, Make will invoke the
shell.  Something like

  link .... && cat .... && rm ....

will cause the command to be invoked via the shell, and then I think
you will get what you want.  Or maybe I'm missing something.

Yes, and sh also supports that, of course.
