If I have a list in a GNU Makefile, is it possible to create a new list with the original strings modified. This is would be perfect if there was the map higher-order procedure from some languages.

DIRS=A B C D
#apply some magic to create
DIRS_INCLUDE=-IA -IB -IC -ID

    DIRS_INCLUDE=$(foreach dir,$(DIRS),-I$(dir))
