Good idea; yes, this will work. GNU make merely looks for the text
$(MAKE) or ${MAKE}; it doesn't try to examine the shell script to
understand what's being done.
Here's another idea which might be even less overhead:
 : $(MAKE); $(MULTIDO) what-ev-a
Or vice versa; put the ": $(MAKE)" at the end after $(MULTIDO).
