How to use shell builtin function from a Makefile?

Question

I just stumbled on this problem. I tried to write a very basic Makefile target:

core: myprogram
        ulimit -c 10000
        ./myprogram

You can say:

core: myprogram
        $(shell /bin/bash -c "ulimit -c 10000")
        ./myprogram
        $(shell /bin/bash -c "ulimit -c 0")
