You probably don't want to use $(shell ..).
The command in there is executed first, when make is expanding
gb_ConcatPo I guess.
If you remove the shell it could +- work.
Better to send more next time, like, how do you use it,.. if it does not work.

I am always experimenting when hacking makefiles.
HTH,
