A few lines below in the main Makefile:

513 ifeq ($(mixed-targets),1)
514 #
======================================================================
=====
515 # We're called with mixed targets (*config and build targets).
516 # Handle them one by one.
517
518 PHONY += $(MAKECMDGOALS) __build_one_by_one
519
520 $(filter-out __build_one_by_one, $(MAKECMDGOALS)):
__build_one_by_one
521 @:
522
523 __build_one_by_one:
524 $(Q)set -e; \
525 for i in $(MAKECMDGOALS); do \
526 $(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile $$i; \
527 done
