The x.% targets are never executed, because Make says:
"Nothing to do"

Although my question might have indicated that: I'm not dumb :-). Obviously
I discovered the problem and changed the commands accordingly.
However with this:

clean:: $(addprefix clean.,$(DIRS))
.PHONY: clean
.PHONY: $(addprefix clean.,$(DIRS))
clean.%:
    $(MAKE) -C $* clean

I get "Nothing to do" in every case. I don't get this if I remove the
.PHONY just for the $(addprefix clean.,$(DIRS)) (in my example in line
3 of the example)
