I have added another tab character to a multi-line variable definition
which should be called for a specific evaluation.
Now I get a bit of more "progress indication" from a different error message.

…
parallel-inc.make:249: *** recipe commences before first target.  Stop.


Would you like to give further hints (or advices) for another excerpt
from this build script?

Lines 183 - 203:
define RESULT_CHECK
        for part in $(1); do \
if test "x$$(< $$part)" != "x0"; then \
$(PRINTF) "$$(TEXT3)" '$$part'; \
exit 12; \
fi; \
done \
&& $$(TOUCH) '$(2)'
endef

define HANDLE_BACKGROUND_TASK
@$(RM) '$(1)'
        $(file >$(2)) \
$(file >>$(2),for task in $$($(SEQ) $(PARALLEL_MAXIMUM) -1 0); \
do $(MAKE) -f $(3) -j1 index=$$task &; \
done) \
$(file >>$(2),wait)
        @cat '$(2)'
        $$SHELL '$(2)'
        $(eval $(call RESULT_CHECK,$(4),$(1)))
endef
