You can emulate C like structure in GNU Make by double substitution:

my_str = "hello"
my_str_len = 4

your_str = "bye"
your_str_len = 3

data = my
$(info String is: $($(data)_str) and $($(data)_str_len) long.)
data = your
$(info String is: $($(data)_str) and $($(data)_str_len) long.)

Is this useful for you?
