RE: invoke target multiple times

[Rinehart, Raleigh]

Yes this will work nicely!  Well I feel silly now, I should have seen
that. I guess I was over-thinking the problem and trying to get too
fancy.  Simple solutions are often the better solutions.
 
Thanks a bunch!

Can't you just do:

    .PHONY: world
    world:
            $(MAKE) RELEASE=a CUNIT=b HW=c pdriver
            $(MAKE) RELEASE=d CUNIT=e HW=f pdriver
            $(MAKE) RELEASE=g CUNIT=h HW=i pdriver
            $(MAKE) RELEASE=j CUNIT=k HW=l pdriver

?

That's good enough for a simple situation.  If you wanted to use
parallelism and needed to get every last erg out of it you'll need to do
something fancier of course; in this environment each build of "pdriver"
will be built serially but the act of building a single pdriver will be
done in parallel (if you see what I mean).
