Doesn't work because the match is not on words of the list but on the full
list and you're not using globs.
Aside from Giorgos' method, one might consider:
LIST=f8 f9
LINUX_VER=invalid
.for _VERSION in ${LIST}
.if (${USE_LINUX} == "${_VERSION}")
LINUX_VER=${_VERSION}
.endif
.endfor
all:
.if !empty(LINUX_VER:Minvalid)
@echo "Invalid linux version: ${USE_LINUX}"
.else
@echo "Using linux version ${LINUX_VER}"
.endif
