The former is for printing informational text to the screen, while the latter is for command pipelining. A good example for both can be found in shells/bash2/Makefile: update-etc-shells: @${ECHO_MSG} "updating /etc/shells" @${CP} /etc/shells /etc/shells.bak @( ${GREP} -v ${PREFIX}/bin/bash /etc/shells.bak; \ ${ECHO_CMD} ${PREFIX}/bin/bash) >/etc/shells @${RM} /etc/shells.bak -- Adios
