maybe ...

#----------------makefile-------------------
targets := target1 target2

.PHONY: all

all: $(targets)

$(targets):
    @echo making \"address@hidden"

makefile: prerequisites_for_any_target

.PHONY: prerequisites_for_any_target

prerequisites_for_any_target:
    @echo making \"prerequisites_for_any_target\" in a submake:
    @echo \"$(MAKE) -f doesntexist\" ... try this one to simulate \
        a failed \"prerequisites_for_any_target\"
#-----------------makefile------------------
