Another option. Use the character code directly.

echo $$'\t'$$'\t'Executing scripts

This seems to work with /bin/echo and the builtin bash echo, but it's
the only shell I have.

Wait, this isn't a good idea. sh is bash on my system and it's doing
the $'\t' substitutions. It's probably a good idea to add "SHELL =
/bin/bash" to the Makefile unless you want to do excessive bourne
compatibility checking.
