Problem with make

I'm having a problem using a 'for' statement with 'make'. Consider
the following trivial makefile:
test:
for i in 1 2 3 4; do echo "hello"; done
This always generates an error such as
Syntax error: do: command not found
If I type the for command directly into the shell (or
run it in a shell script), it performs without error.
I get the same error on an NCR tower, a Convergent,
and SCO 3.2. Am I missing something?
