Embedding a carriage return in $(error)?

[Rick Flower]

Just curious if it is possible to embed a newline/carriage return at a 
particular spot in the message spit out by $(error)?  I've got a message 
that would be easier to read if i could put a single newline in there 
somewhere.. I tried (pardon the wrapping):

ifeq (,$(OBJDIR))
 $(error No object directory found -- possible configuration problem? \n \
  I looked for : $(OBJDIRS))
endif

Anyway, it just spits out the \n w/o interpreting it.. Anyway, if it's 
not possible, it's no big deal.. Just thought I'd ask.. Thanks!
