a Make question

Here's a simple makefile:
DIRS = d1 d2 d3 d4 d5
depend: ; (for dir in $(DIRS); do (cd $dir; make depend); done)
The problem with this is that 'make' is interpreting the $d as a null
string, so the 'cd' command sees an argument of "ir". I tried
escaping the $ preceding dir, to no avail. Can anybody make the
above loop work, or suggest a better way? Thanks!
