I've seen the following idea somewhere:
SUBDIRS = ...
.PHONY: $(addsuffix -foo, $(SUBDIRS)):
$(addsuffix -foo, $(SUBDIRS)):
$(MAKE) -C `echo $@ | sed 's/-.*$//'` `echo $@ | sed 's/^.*-//'`
Repeat for all "foo" targets that you need. The sed expressions may
need refining.
Then again, the original proposal doesn't sound so bad either.
